Numerical solutions of the fractional SIS epidemic model via a novel technique

Abstract

This article introduces a novel technique called modified fractional Taylor series method (MFTSM) to find numerical solutions for the fractional SIS epidemic model. The fractional derivative is considered in the sense of Caputo. The most important feature of the MFTSM is that it is very effective, accurate, simple, and more computational than the methods found in literature. The validity and effectiveness of the proposed technique are investigated and verified through numerical example.
