This paper presents a deterministic SATQ-type mathematical model (including susceptible, alcoholism, treating, and quitting compartments) for the spread of alcoholism with two control strategies to gain insights into this increasingly concerned about health and social phenomenon. Some properties of the solutions to the model including positivity, existence and stability are analyzed. The optimal control strategies are derived by proposing an objective functional and using Pontryagin’s Maximum Principle. Numerical simulations are also conducted in the analytic results.

Novel coronavirus (COVID-19) has been spreading and wreaking havoc globally, despite massive efforts by the government and World Health Organization (WHO). Consideration of partially recovered carriers is hypothesized to play a leading role in the persistence of the disease and its introduction to new areas. A model for transmission of COVID-19 by symptomless partially recovered carriers is proposed and analysed. It is shown that key parameters can be identified such that below a threshold level, built on these parameters, the epidemic tends towards extinction, while above another threshold, it tends towards a nontrivial epidemic state. Moreover, optimal control analysis of the model, using Pontryagin’s maximum principle, is performed. The optimal controls are characterized in terms of the optimality system and solved numerically for several scenarios. Numerical simulations and sensitivity analysis of the basic reproduction number, R c , indicate that the disease is mainly driven by parameters involving the partially recovered carriers rather than symptomatic ones. Moreover, optimal control analysis of the model, using Pontryagin’s maximum principle, is performed. The optimal controls were characterized in terms of the optimality system and solved numerically for several scenarios. Numerical simulations were explored to illustrate our theoretical findings, scenarios were built, and the model predicted that social distancing and treatment of the symptomatic will slow down the epidemic curve and reduce mortality of COVID-19 given that there is an average adherence to social distancing and effective treatment are administered.

 In this paper, we studied a mathematical model of tuberculosis with vaccination for the treatment of  tuberculosis. We considered an in-host tuberculosis model that described the interaction between Macrophages and Mycobacterium tuberculosis and investigated the effect of vaccination treatments on uninfected macrophages. Optimal control is applied to show the optimal vaccination and effective strategies to control the disease. The optimal control formula is obtained using the Hamiltonian function and Pontryagin's maximum principle. Finally, we perform numerical simulations to support the analytical results. The results suggest that control or vaccination is required if the maximal transmission of infection rate at which macrophages became infected is large. In this paper, we studied a mathematical model of tuberculosis with vaccination for the treatment of  tuberculosis.We considered an in-host tuberculosis model that described the interaction between macrophages Macrophages and Mycobacterium tuberculosis and investigated the effect of vaccination treatments on uninfected macrophages.

A SEIR mathematical model with a single control vaccination is formulated. Properties of Pontryagin's maximum principle is verified and found the optimal levels of controls. Optimal values of S, E, I, R were derived by equlibrium analysis. Numerical simulations were carried out to exhibit the Susceptible, Exposed, Infectious and Recovery class with and without vaccination.

AbstractThe novel coronavirus disease (namely COVID-19) has taken attention because of its deadliness across the globe, causing a massive death as well as critical situation around the world. It is an infectious disease which is caused by newly discovered coronavirus. Our study demonstrates with a nonlinear model of this devastating COVID-19 which narrates transmission from human-to-human in the society. Pontryagin’s Maximum principle has also been applied in order to obtain optimal control strategies where the maintenance of social distancing is the major control. The target of this study is to find out the most fruitful control measures of averting coronavirus infection and eventually, curtailed of the COVID-19 transmission among people. The model is investigated analytically by using most familiar necessary conditions of Pontryagin’s maximum principle. Furthermore, numerical simulations have been performed to illustrate the analytical results. The analysis reveals that implementation of educational campaign, social distancing and developing human immune system are the major factors which can be able to plunge the scenario of becoming infected.

AbstractThe Pontryagin theory of optimal control is modified by assuming a positive cost associated with switching control from one discrete value to another. The resulting new theory permits a general existence theorem. Pontryagin's maximum principle is replaced by an “indifference principle”.

This paper deals with a class of two person zero-sum linear quadratic differential games, where the control functions for both players subject to integral constraints. Also the necessary conditions of the Maximum Principle are studied. Main objective in this work is to obtain optimal control by using method of Pontryagin's Maximum Principle. This method for a time-varying linear quadratic differential game is described. Finally, we discuss about an example.
