Construction a Distributed Order Smoking Model and Its Nonstandard Finite Difference Discretization

Abstract

Smoking is currently one of the most important health problems in the world and increases the risk of developing diseases. For these reasons, it is important to determine the effects of smoking on humans. In this paper, we discuss a new system of distributed order fractional differential equations of the smoking model. With the use of distributed order fractional differential equations, it is possible to solve both ordinary and fractional-order equations. We can make these solutions with the density function included in the definition of the distributed order fractional differential equation. We construct the Nonstandard Finite Difference (NSFD) schemes to obtain numerical solutions of this model. Positivity solutions are preserved under positive initial conditions with this discretization method. Also, since NSFD schemes can preserve all the properties of the continuous models for any discretization parameter, the method is successful in dynamical consistency. We use the Schur-Cohn criteria for stability analysis of the discretized model. With the solutions obtained, we can understand the effects of smoking on people in a short time, even in different situations. Thus, by knowing these effects in advance, potential health problems can be predicted, and life risks can be minimized according to these predictions.
