Abstract
This paper presents an existence result for a novel nonlinear Caputo q-fractional p-Laplacian epidemiological model on time scales. The proof of the main result leverages Arzelà–Ascoli and Schauder’s fixed point theorems. Additionally, a set of open questions is addressed to further enrich this field of valuable scientific research
