Abstract

Recently, researchers have become interested in modelling, monitoring, and treatment of hepatitis B virus infection. Understanding the various connections between pathogens, immune systems, and general liver function is crucial. In this study, we propose a higher-order stochastically modified delay differential model for the evolution of hepatitis B virus transmission involving defensive cells. Taking into account environmental stimuli and ambiguities, we presented numerical solutions of the fractal-fractional hepatitis B virus model based on the exponential decay kernel that reviewed the hepatitis B virus immune system involving cytotoxic T lymphocyte immunological mechanisms. Furthermore, qualitative aspects of the system are analyzed such as the existence-uniqueness of the non-negative solution, where the infection endures stochastically as a result of the solution evolving within the predetermined system's equilibrium state. In certain settings, infection-free can be determined, where the illness settles down tremendously with unit probability. To predict the viability of the fractal-fractional derivative outcomes, a novel numerical approach is used, resulting in several remarkable modelling results, including a change in fractional-order δ with constant fractal-dimension ϖ, δ with changing ϖ, and δ with changing both δ and ϖ. White noise concentration has a significant impact on how bacterial infections are treated.
