Mathematical modeling of the impact of HPV vaccine uptake in reducing cervical cancer using a graph-theoretic approach via Caputo fractional-order derivatives

Abstract

Please read abstract in the article.

Description

DATA AVAILABILITY : The findings of this study are based on synthetic data and published epidemiological studies, as outlined in Table 2. The parameters were estimated using these sources, and all data and model estimates are thoroughly documented in the manuscript to ensure transparency for replication and further analysis.
