“…Considering a population of the walkers performing a Lévy-flight mobility pattern leads to a fractional-order reaction-diffusion equation whose solution represents the walker densities [18,27]. From an applied point of view, fractional-order models have been used in a broad range of problems in ecology [28,29], biology [30], plasma turbulence [31,32], finance [33] and also recently numerous studies have been conducted on the subjects of bifurcation analysis, stability, and optimal control of fractional-order systems, such as predator-prey models [34,35], diffusive mussel-algae models [36], and neural networks [37][38][39]. As an application of space fractional-order diffusion equations in epidemiology, Hanert et al [40] have shown that such equations can be applied to model the modern epidemics, such as avian influenza, and even SARS and also that the fractionalorder diffusion operators make the epidemic waves travel at an exponential speed and the tails of the wave solutions decay algebraically as a power-law.…”
