Our aim in this work was to examine the model underpinning the spread of the Rubella virus using the novel deriv-
ative called beta-derivative. The study of the equilibrium points together with the analysis of the disease free equi-
librium points was presented. Due to the complexity of the modified equation we introduced a new operator based
on the S umudu tr ansform. The prop erties of this oper ator wer e proposed and proved in detail. We made used of
this operator together with the idea of perturbation method to derive a special solution of the extended model. The
st ability of the method for solving this model was presented. The uniqueness of the special solution was pr esen ted
and numeri cal simu lations wer e done. Th e graphic al r epr esentation s show that the model depends on both param-
eters and the fr actional order.

Abstract
Our aim in this work was to examine the model underpinning the spread of the Rubella virus using the novel derivative called beta-derivative. The study of the equilibrium points together with the analysis of the disease free equilibrium points was presented. Due to the complexity of the modified equation we introduced a new operator based on the Sumudu transform. The properties of this operator were proposed and proved in detail. We made used of this operator together with the idea of perturbation method to derive a special solution of the extended model. The stability of the method for solving this model was presented. The uniqueness of the special solution was presented and numerical simulations were done. The graphical representations show that the model depends on both parameters and the fractional order
