Approximated analytical solution to an Ebola optimal control problem

An analytical expression for the optimal control of an Ebola problem is obtained. The analytical solution is found as a first-order approximation to the Pontryagin Maximum Principle via the Euler–Lagrange equation. An implementation of the method is given using the computer algebra system Maple. Our...

Resumo:An analytical expression for the optimal control of an Ebola problem is obtained. The analytical solution is found as a first-order approximation to the Pontryagin Maximum Principle via the Euler–Lagrange equation. An implementation of the method is given using the computer algebra system Maple. Our analytical solutions confirm the results recently reported in the literature using numerical methods. © 2016 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
