Introduction
Among the natural disasters epidemic diseases kill many people in di¤erent eras. Some of these
diseases are now curable/controllable and scientists have made enormous e¤orts to control such
diseases. For example, for the polio control free vaccination is provided to kids of …ve years.
These epidemics are natural and could be treated up to some extent. Dengue, malaria, small
pox, etc. are the epidemic for which the pharmacists have manufactured some medicines.
Furthermore, scientists are struggling continuously to formulate more economical and e¤ective
antidotes.
In the thick of these widespread diseases, tobacco epidemic is one of the huge health haz-
ards the world has ever faced. This is among those threats which are generated by humans
themselves. Moreover, it is under the control of humans and hence by suitable strategies and
e¤orts it is possible to curb this intimidation.
Smoking kills up to 50 percent of its users. Nearly, each year 6 million people die from
smoking, of whom more than 5 million are users and ex-users and more than 0:6 million are
nonsmokers exposed to passive smoking. People who die prematurely deprive their families of
income, consumes family budget, raise the cost of health care and retard economic development.
Death statistic reveal, there is a death caused by tobacco every second; ten percent of the adult
population die because of smoking related diseases. Due to the increase in smokers community,
tobacco use is also a fetal threat which need to be curbed.
Mathematical modeling is a way to study the dynamics of many real world problems. It
is the pro…ciency of converting problems from an application area into tractable mathemati-
4
cal formulations whose theoretical and numerical analysis provide insight and guidance which
are useful for the originating application. A mathematical model is an abstract model that
uses mathematical language to describe the behavior of a system. In mathematical modeling
recently many people have contributed signi…cantly. Various infectious diseases are modeled
mathematically. Similarly the dynamics of smoking has modeled mathematically. Furthermore,
in order to perceive the spread of smoking and to predict the impact of smoking on society and
to reduce the number of smokers, it is worth noticing to study the dynamically aspects of
smoking in a community.
In order to identify the spreading rate of smoking using mathematical tools, researchers
have introduced di¤erent classes of smokers. In 1997, Castillo-Garrsow at all.[5]presented a
general epidemiological model to describe dynamically aspect of giving up smoking model. The
Arthur assumed PSQ model with a total constant population divided into three categories:
potential smoker P., smokers S. and quite smokers Q. Moreover, they considered the aspect of
peer pressure, relapse, counseling and treatment. Subsequently, in 2008 Sharomi and Gumel
[28], introduced a new category Qr of smokers who temporarily give up smoking.
In epidemiology, incidence is the probability of occurrence of a speci…c medical condition in a
population within a speci…ed period of time. In the transmission of smoking epidemics incidence
rate plays a vital role. In order to explain the dynamical aspects of various individual in the
community, researchers have incorporated bi-linear and saturated incidence rates [5],[4],[18]. In
a …nite time these aforementioned incidence rates do not help to show the credibility of having
the smokers ers population tends to extinction. For this purpose the authors in [7] incorporated
square root type incidence rate, which was introduced by Mickens [18].
In the project, we review the study of Rahman etal [25]. In this chapter 2 of this project,
we present the positivity of the solution of smoking model [25].We show the disease free and
endamic equilibrium points of the model. We discuss the local and global stability analysis of
the smoking model at disease free and endamic equilibrium points. In chapter3, we use RK4
method to calculate the numerical solution of the smoking model. We present the solution by
ploting the graphs. All the results of this project report are taken from [25].

Chapter 2
In this chapter, we consider and study the analysis of a smoking model [25]. Assume that the
total population size at any time t is represented by N (t). The population N (t) is partitioned
into four classes P (t) (potential smokers), L(t) (occasional smokers), S(t) (chain smokers) and
Q(t) (quit smokers). All the results of this chapter are taken from the model [25].

P (0) = P0 0; L(0) = L0 0

S(0) = S0 0; Q(0) = Q0 0
Furthermore, W (L; P ) is a function. This function relates the incidence of potential smoker
with occasional smoker. In this model, the interaction of potential and occasional smokers in
the following form:
2P L
W (P; L) := : (2.2)
P +L
Moreover, the function de…ned in (2.2) represents the harmonic mean of potential and
occasional smokers. For many investigation the uptake function W (P; L) is taken to be the
product of potential and occasional smokers, which is known as bi–linear incidence rate [13]:The
authors of [7] discussed the dynamics of giving up smoking model while considering the uptake
function to be the square root of P and L. Beside these, it is very fascinating to consider the
2P L
uptake function to be W (P; L) = P +L : Since it is known that if P and L are two quantities
such that P; L 0, then the following relation holds true:
2P L p P +L

In this section, we present the positivity of solution of the giving up smoking model (2.1).
Remark 2.1 [25]
It is worth noticing that the system ODEs (2.1) satis…es the following conservative law:

= ( + d)N: (2.3)

where N (t) denotes total population size at any time t with N (t) = P (t)+L(t)+S(t)+Q(t):

All feasible solutions of the system (2.7) is bounded for non-negative initial condition that
are not identically zero on any interval and enter the region

In this section, we present the smoking free and smoking present equilibrium points of the
giving up smoking model.

The smokers generation number R0 is obtained by the method, described in [8]. Assume
x = (L; S), then system (2.7) will yield.

In this section, we will calculate the local stability analysis at smoking free equilibrium of giving
up smoking model [25]
Theorem 2.2.[25] (Local stability of E 0 )
If R0 < 1; then the smoking -free equilibrium of system (2.7) is locally asymptotically stable.
13
If R0 = 1; E 0 is locally stable and unstable if R0 > 1:
Proof:
In order to investigate the local stability of E0 ;linearization method is used to evaluate the
Jacobian matrix at E 0 ; which is given by

3 = 4 = d < 0:
Since 1; 3 and 4 are negative.
Now if R0 < 1; then 2 is also negative and thus all eigenvalues of (2.16)are negative i,e E 0
2
is sink and hence E 0 is locally asymptotically stable. Now if R0 = 1; then = 0 and E 0 is
locally stable. Now if R0 > 1 then 2 > 0 which means that there exist a positive eigenvalue of
(2.16), hence E 0 is unstable in this case.
In this section, we study the global stability analysis of giving up smoking model (2.7). The
method of Castillo-Chavez is used to prove the global asymptotically stable at smoking free
equilibrium. First, we provide a brief analysis of the Castillo-Chavez method and geometrical
approach to prove the global stability of the model (2.7) smoking free and smoking present
equilibrium points. The smoking model (2.7) will be reduced into the following two subsystems:
dx1
= G(x1 ; x2 );
dt
dx2
= H(x1 ; x2 ): (2.17)
dt
In the system (2.17), x1 and x2 represent the number of nonsmokers and smokers individuals,
14
that is, x1 = (P (t); Q(t)) 2 R2 and x2 = (L(t); S(t)) 2 R2 . The smoking free equilibrium
point E0 is de…ned as E0 = (x01 ; 0): Thus, the existence of the global stability at disease free
equilibrium point depends on the following two conditions
dx1 0
C1 . If dt G(x1 ; 0); x1 is globally asymptotically stable.
C2 .H(x1 ; x2 ) = Bx1 H(x1 ; x2 ); where H(x1 ; x2 ) 0 for (x1 ; x2) 2 :
In second condition, B = Dx2 H(x01 ; 0) is an M-matrix that is the o¤ diagonal entries are
positive and represents the required feasible region. Then the following statement hold;
Lemma 2.1.[25]
If R0 < 1 then the equilibrium point E0 = (X 0 ; 0 ) of the system (2.7) is said to be globally
asymptotically stable, if the conditions C1 and C2 are satis…ed.
Theorem 2.3.[25]
Let R0 < 1, then model (2.7) is globally asymptotically stable at smoking free equilibrium
E0 .
Proof.
To prove the results it need to check the condition, C1 and C2 : Let X1 = (P (t); Q(t))
represents the numbers of nonsmokers classes and X2 = (L(t); S(t)) represent the number of
smokers classes. De…ne E0 = (X0 ; 0), where
dx1
= G(x1 ; x2 );
dt
dx1 2 PL
=( ( + d)P ): (2.19)
dt P +L
15
For the second condition, …rst it need to express H(X1 ; X2 ) in the form, H(X1 ; X2 ) = BX1
H(X1 ; X2 ):
So,

P +L P +L
Therefore, H(x1; x2 ) is positive de…nite. Also, it is clear that the matrix B is M-matrix
that is the o¤ diagonal element are non-negative. Thus condition C1 and C2 are satis…ed, so
by Lemma 3:1, the smoking free equilibrium E0 is globally asymptotically stable. To prove
the global stability of the model [?] at smoking present equilibrium E1 , we use the geometrical
approach 2[16]0. According to this method, we will investigate su¢ cient condition through
which the smoking present equilibrium point is globally asymptotically stable. To do this, we
consider the following
x_ = f (x) (2.22)
16
N of x0 and > 0, such that N \ x(t; N ) is empty for all t > . Thus the following global
stability principle established for autonomous system in any …nite dimension.
Lemma 2.2.[25]
If the conditions (C1 ) (C2 ) and Bendixson criterion satis…ed for Eq. (2.22) that is robust
under C1 local perturbation of f at all non equilibrium and non wandering point for Eq (2.22).
Then x is globally asymptotically stable in U provided it is stable. Now to prove the robustness
required for Lemma 3:2: Let us de…ne a function, such that
0 1
n n
P (x) = @ A: (2.23)
2 2
Eq (2.23) is a matrix valued function on U . Further, assume that P 1 exist and is continuous
for x 2 K. Now we de…ne a quantity,
Z t

q = lim sup sup [ (B(x(s; x0 )))]ds; (2.24)
t!1 t 0
where B = Pf P 1 + P J [2] P 1 and J [2] is the second additive compound matrix of the
Jacobian matrix J, that is J(x) = U f (x).
Let
l(B) be the Lozinski measure of the matrix B with respect to the norm jj:jjinRn [19] de…ned
by
jI + Bxj 1
l(B) = limx !0 : (2.25)
x
Hence, q < 0;shows the presence of any orbit that give rise to a simple closed recti…able
curve, such as periodic orbits and hetero cyclic cycles.
Lemma 2.3.[25]
Let U is simply connected and the condition (C1 ) (C2 ) are satis…ed, then the unique
equilibrium x of Eq. [?] is globally asymptotically stable inU , if q < 0:
Theorem 2.4.[25]
If R0 > 1, then the smoking present equilibrium of the model (2.7) is globally asymptotically

given by the following formula
