A Multiregion Discrete-Time Epidemic Model of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Infections: An Optimal Control Approach by Rachid Bouajaji, Hassan Laarabi, Mostafa Rachik, Abdelhadi Abta

“…Firstly, we analyze the epidemic model when the control strategy is based on the vaccination control only, and secondly, when the travel-blocking control is added, we finish with the introduction of the treatment control. The optimal control theory, based on Pontryagin’s maximum principle, is applied thrice in this paper, for the characterizations of the vaccination, travel-blocking, and treatment controls. …”

Presenting two new methods for solving linear interval optimal control problems using the resilience approach of control signal by Elnaz Hosseini, Mehdi Allahdadi, Samaneh Soradi-Zeid

“…In these methods, the given interval optimal control problem is transformed into a non-interval (deterministic) optimal control problem so that it is possible to use the optimal control theory to solve it. By considering the variation limits for the control signal, the optimal solution of the main problem is obtained.Methodology: In this research, two methods are presented to solve the deterministic sub-models of linear interval optimal control problems and find a good approximation for the optimal solution of them. …”
