Qualitative Analysis of Generalized Power Nonlocal Fractional System with p-Laplacian Operator, Including Symmetric Cases: Application to a Hepatitis B Virus Model

This paper introduces a novel framework for modeling nonlocal fractional system with a p-Laplacian operator under power nonlocal fractional derivatives (PFDs), a generalization encompassing established derivatives like Caputo–Fabrizio, Atangana–Baleanu, weighted Atangana–Baleanu, and weighted Hattaf. The core methodology involves employing a PFD with a tunable power parameter within a non-singular kernel, enabling a nuanced representation of memory effects not achievable with traditional fixed-kernel derivatives. This flexible framework is analyzed using fixed-point theory, rigorously establishing the existence and uniqueness of solutions for four symmetric cases under specific conditions. Furthermore, we demonstrate the Hyers–Ulam stability, confirming the robustness of these solutions against small perturbations. The versatility and generalizability of this framework is underscored by its application to an epidemiological model of transmission of Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) and numerical simulations for all four symmetric cases. This study presents findings in both theoretical and applied aspects of fractional calculus, introducing an alternative framework for modeling complex systems with memory processes, offering opportunities for more sophisticated and accurate models and new avenues for research in fractional calculus and its applications.
