Optimal control strategies for tuberculosis treatment: a case study in Angola [PDF]
Numer. Algebra Control Optim. 2 (2012), no. 3, 601--617, 2012 We apply optimal control theory to a tuberculosis model given by a system of ordinary differential equations. Optimal control strategies are proposed to minimize the cost of interventions. Numerical simulations are given using data from Angola.
