Optimal Intervention Strategies for the Spread of Obesity

The present study considers a deterministic compartmental model for obesity dynamics. The model exhibits forward bifurcation at basic reproduction number, R0=1, that is; for R0<1, obesity is not sustained. However for R0>1 the model approaches a locally asymptotically stable endemic equilibriu...
