Abstract
We improve a recent mathematical model for cholera by adding a time delay that represents the time between the instant at which an individual becomes infected and the instant at which he begins to have symptoms of cholera disease. We prove that the delayed cholera model is biologically meaningful and analyze the local asymptotic stability of the equilibrium points for positive time delays. An optimal control problem is proposed and analyzed, where the goal is to obtain optimal treatment strategies, through quarantine, that minimize the number of infective individuals and the bacterial concentration, as well as treatment costs. Necessary optimality conditions are applied to the delayed optimal control problem, with a $L^1$ type cost functional. We show that the delayed cholera model fits better the cholera outbreak that occurred in the Department of Artibonite -- Haiti, from 1 November 2010 to 1 May 2011, than the non delayed model. Considering the data of the cholera outbreak in Haiti, we solve numerically the delayed optimal control problem and propose solutions for the outbreak control and eradication.
期刊介绍:
The Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena (MMNP) is an international research journal, which publishes top-level original and review papers, short communications and proceedings on mathematical modelling in biology, medicine, chemistry, physics, and other areas. The scope of the journal is devoted to mathematical modelling with sufficiently advanced model, and the works studying mainly the existence and stability of stationary points of ODE systems are not considered. The scope of the journal also includes applied mathematics and mathematical analysis in the context of its applications to the real world problems. The journal is essentially functioning on the basis of topical issues representing active areas of research. Each topical issue has its own editorial board. The authors are invited to submit papers to the announced issues or to suggest new issues.
Journal publishes research articles and reviews within the whole field of mathematical modelling, and it will continue to provide information on the latest trends and developments in this ever-expanding subject.
