The purpose of this research is to create a novel theoretical model of fear (panic) spread in the context of epidemiology during an emergency using the fractal fractional operator. For quantitative analysis, the system's boundedness and positivity are checked. According to the Arzela Ascoli theorem, the model is completely continuous. As a result of the discovery of Schauder's fixed point, it has at least one solution. The existence and uniqueness of the concerned solution have been examined using the fixed point theory technique. Numerical simulations are used to demonstrate the accuracy of the proposed techniques using a generalized form of Mittag-Leffler kernel with a fractal fractional operator. Finally, simulations are utilized to represent the spread of group emotional contagion (spontaneous spread of emotions and related behaviors) dynamically.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessPanic Spreading ModelLyapunov StabilityUnique SolutionQualitative AnalysisMittag-Leffler KernelFixed-point TheoryArticle322N/AWOS:001146281400001Q12-s2.0-8518353160210.1142/S0218348X24400115
