Abstract
Illicit drug use is a significant problem that causes great material and moral
losses and threatens the future of the society. For this reason, illicit drug use and related
crimes are the most significant criminal cases examined by scientists. This paper aims at
modeling the illegal drug use using the Atangana-Baleanu fractional derivative with
Mittag-Leffler kernel. Also, in this work, the existence and uniqueness of solutions of the
fractional-order Illicit drug use model are discussed via Picard-Lindelöf theorem which
provides successive approximations using a convergent sequence. Then the stability
analysis for both disease-free and endemic equilibrium states is conducted. A numerical
scheme based on the known Adams-Bashforth method is designed in fractional form to
approximate the novel Atangana-Baleanu fractional operator of order 0 < α ≤ 1. Finally,
numerical simulation results based on different values of fractional order, which also
serve as control parameter, are presented to justify the theoretical findings.
