A comprehensive review article on fractional models involving ecology and eco-epidemiology

Abstract

This paper deals with the various definitions involved in the very old yet novel topic called fractional calculus. This survey intends to report some of the major works carried out in the arena of fractional calculus that took place since 2010. Fractional calculus is a prominent topic for research within the discipline of applied mathematics doe to its usefulness in solving problems in several different branches of science, engineering, medicine, finance, economics and the likes. With the various definitions involved in this field, we explore the various models taken into consideration to study the effect and impact of fractional calculus to understand how the dynamics of such models change.
