This study presents a mathematical model that represents the population growth dynamics of tobacco consumers based on a system of ordinary nonlinear differential equations. The model is used to determine the Basic Reproductive Number (R 0). Two points of equilibrium are found and their local stability is classified. Finally, the Matlab software is used to present numerical simulations using the fourth-order Runge-Kutta method, and it is shown that the solutions approach an asymptotically stable point, under the variation of R 0 .
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
