Modeling Pulmonary Tuberculosis for Optimal Control Including Prevention
Journal Title: Journal of Advances in Mathematics and Computer Science - Year 2017, Vol 21, Issue 6
Abstract
It is formulated and analyzed an optimal control problem for the transmission dynamics of the SEIS-like pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) including prevention by means of non-linear differential equations, which are linked to a functional cost. Also, it is established and analyzed the use of optimal control to reduce the latent and infectious populations by using the Pontryaguin's maximum principle (a Hamiltonian function which establishes a problem with numerical limits). After that, simulations of the problem are done. Finally, with an analysis of the viability of strategies to control the disease, we have concluded that the application of effective control measures in the prevention generates a significant decrease in the infected population as well as affects directly the propagation of the infection.

The “Vertical” Generalization of the Binary Goldbach’s Conjecture as Applied on “Iterative” Primes with (Recursive) Prime Indexes (i-primeths)
This article proposes a synthesized classification of some Goldbach-like conjectures, including those which are “stronger” than the Binary Goldbach’s Conjecture (BGC) and launches a new generalization of BGC briefly call...
Global Dynamics and Traveling Waves of a Delayed Diffusive Epidemic Model with Speci c Nonlinear Incidence Rate
In this paper, we investigate the global stability and the existence of traveling waves for a delayed di usive epidemic model. The disease transmission process is modeled by a speci c nonlinear function that covers many...
