Analysis of a fractional-order SIS epidemic model with saturated treatment

In this paper, we propose and analyze a fractional-order SIS epidemic model with the saturated treatment and disease transmission. The existence and uniqueness, nonnegativity and finiteness of solutions for our suggested model have been studied. Different equilibria of the model are found and their local and global stability analyses are also examined. Furthermore, the conditions for fractional backward and fractional Hopf bifurcation are also analyzed in both the commensurate and incommensurate fractional-order model. We study how the control parameter and the order of the fractional derivative play role in local as well as global stability of equilibrium points and Hopf bifurcation. We have demonstrated the analytical results of our proposed model system through several numerical simulations.
