Abstract
This paper presents two models for hepatitis B, both given by fractional differential equations. The first model is formulated without parameters that indicate drug therapy, while the second one considers the drug therapy. The basic reproduction number and the stability analysis are considered for both models. Moreover, some numerical simulations by nonstandard finite difference schemes are presented. The numerical results show that the solutions converges to an equilibrium point as predicted in the stability analysis.

Notes
Note that, from Definition 2, that \(I^\alpha t^\beta =t^{\beta +\alpha }\Gamma (\beta +1)/\Gamma (\beta +\alpha +1),\) i.e., the polynomial case is a recovered if \(\alpha ,\beta \in \mathbb {N}\).
This fact is one of the main differences between the fractional derivatives of Camargo and de Oliveira (2015).
As made in Driessche and Watmough (2002) the basic reproduction number will be the biggest eigenvalue of K. For convenience, we omit the square root.
