Differential transform method for solving mathematical model of SEIR and SEI spread of malaria

Abstract

In this paper, we use Differential Transformation Method (DTM) to solve two dimensional mathematical model of malaria human variable and the other variable for mosquito. Next generation matrix method was used to solve for the basic reproduction number ଴ and we use it to test for the stability that whenever ܴ଴ <1 the disease-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable otherwise unstable. We also compare the DTM solution of the model with Fourth order Runge-Kutta method (R-K 4) which is embedded in maple 18 to see the behaviour of the parameters used in the model. The solutions of the two methods follow the same pattern which was found to be efficient and accurate.
