We present the optimal campaigns in the smoking dynamics. Assuming that the giving up smoking model is described by the simplified (potential-light-smoker-quit smoker) model, we consider two possible control variables in the form of education and treatment campaigns oriented to decrease the attitude towards smoking. In order to do this we minimize the number of light (occasional) and persistent smokers and maximize the number of quit smokers in a community. We first show the existence of an optimal control for the control problem and then derive the optimality system by using the Pontryagin maximum principle. Finally numerical results of real epidemic are presented to show the applicability and efficiency of this approach.

We consider the regularization of the classical optimality conditions (COCs) — the Lagrange principle and the Pontryagin maximum principle — in a convex optimal control problem with functional constraints of equality and inequality type. The system to be controlled is given by a general linear functional-operator equation of the second kind in the space $L^m_2$, the main operator of the right-hand side of the equation is assumed to be quasinilpotent. The objective functional of the problem is strongly convex. Obtaining regularized COCs in iterative form is based on the use of the iterative dual regularization method. The main purpose of the regularized Lagrange principle and the Pontryagin maximum principle obtained in the work in iterative form is stable generation of minimizing approximate solutions in the sense of J. Warga. Regularized COCs in iterative form are formulated as existence theorems in the original problem of minimizing approximate solutions. They “overcome” the ill-posedness properties of the COCs and are regularizing algorithms for solving optimization problems. As an illustrative example, we consider an optimal control problem associated with a hyperbolic system of first-order differential equations.

In this paper, we study a modelization of the evolution of cereal output production, controlled by adding fertilizers and in presence of locusts, then by adding insecticides. The aim is to maximize the cereal output and meanwhile minimize pollution caused by adding fertilizers and insecticides.The optimal control problem obtained is solved theoretically by using the Pontryagin Maximum Principle, and then numerically with shooting method.

We consider the regularization of the classical Lagrange principle and the Pontryagin maximum principle in convex problems of mathematical programming and optimal control. On example of the “simplest” problems of constrained infinitedimensional optimization, two main questions are discussed: why is regularization of the classical optimality conditions necessary and what does it give?

An optimal control on the treatment of the transmission of tuberculosis-HIV coinfection model is proposed in this paper. We use two treatments, that is, anti-TB and antiretroviral, to control the spread of TB and HIV infections, respectively. We first present an uncontrolled TB-HIV coinfection model. The model exhibits four equilibria, namely, the disease-free, the HIV-free, the TB-free, and the coinfection equilibria. We further obtain two basic reproduction ratios corresponding to TB and HIV infections. These ratios determine the existence and stability of the equilibria of the model. The optimal control theory is then derived analytically by applying the Pontryagin Maximum Principle. The optimality system is performed numerically to illustrate the effectiveness of the treatments.

Tuberculosis is a disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Tuberculosis can be controlled through treatment, chemoprophylaxis and vaccination. Optimal control of treatment in the exposed compartment can be done in an effort to reduce the number of exposed compartments individual into the active compartment of tuberculosis. Optimal control can be completed by the Pontryagin Maximum Principle Method. Based on numerical simulation results, optimal control of treatment in the exposed compartment can reduce the number of infected compartments individual with active TB.Keywords : Exogenous Reinfection, Optimal Control, Pontryagin's Maximum Principle, Spread Of Tuberculosis.
