Optimal Control Techniques on a Mathematical Model for the Dynamics of Tungiasis in a Community

Optimal Control Techniques on a Mathematical Model for the Dynamics of Tungiasis in a Community

Tungiasis is a permanent penetration of female sand flea “Tunga penetrans” into the epidermis of its host. It affects human beings and domestic and sylvatic animals. In this paper, we apply optimal control techniques to a Tungiasis controlled mathematical model to determine the optimal control strat...
