Semi Analytical Method for Solving Lymphatic Filariasis Epidemic Model
OGUNTOLU, FA; AKINWANDE, NI; OLAYIWOLA, NO & FARUQ, FA
Abstract
In this paper, we present a deterministic model on the transmission dynamics of Lymphatic Filariasis.
Non-Standard Finite Difference Method (NSFDM) is employed to attempt the solution of the model. The validity of the
NSFDM in solving the model is established by using the computer in-built classical fourth-order Runge-Kutta method. The
comparism between Non-Standard Finite Difference Method solution and Runge-Kutta (RK4) were performed which were
found to be efficient, accurate and rapidly convergence.
