Opis

This book discusses the numerical treatment of delay differential equations and their applications in bioscience. A wide range of delay differential equations are discussed with integer and fractional-order derivatives to demonstrate their richer mathematical framework compared to differential equations without memory for the analysis of dynamical systems. The book also provides interesting applications of delay differential equations in infectious diseases, including COVID-19. It will be valuable to mathematicians and specialists associated with mathematical biology, mathematical modelling, life sciences, immunology and infectious diseases.

Recenzje

"The author provides extensive references for each chapter ... . It offers a breadth of ideas and approaches that could be fertile ground for further research." (Bill Satzer, MAA Reviews, December 12, 2021)
