| Abstract | In the present work, we develop a nonstandard finite difference (NSFD) scheme to numerically solve a mathematical model for smoking habit dynamics. The model is described by a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations, the solution of which predicts the evolution of the prevalence of smoking in Spain. This model has been successfully used to quantify the impact of the Spanish smoke-free law of 2006. According to the principles of dynamic consistency, we constructed an NSFD scheme to integrate numerically the smoking model. This NSFD scheme preserves the properties of the solution corresponding to the original continuous mathematical model such as positivity, local stability of equilibrium points and the associated conservation law. We performed some numerical comparisons with Euler, trapezoidal and fourth-order Runge–Kutta methods to test the NSFD scheme and corroborate that it is dynamically consistent. It is concluded that the NSFD scheme is well suited to numerically solve the mathematical model for smoking habit dynamics. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
