Abstract
This article aims to explore the qualitative theory of a two-strain epidemic model that incorporates a piecewise operator. The study employs fixed-point theory to analyze the existence and uniqueness of solutions for the model. Additionally, the study presents numerical simulations utilizing the Newton difference technique. The article acknowledges that sudden changes are a common feature in several natural and physical occurrences, including the spread of infectious diseases such as two-strain pandemics. Therefore, the study uses the piecewise operator to investigate the spread of a two-strain pandemic. Finally, the study provides numerical results for different fractional orders.
