    Optimal control strategies applied to a mathematical model of meningitis
    (New York Business Global, 2025) Patidar, Kailash; Mohamed, Sahar; Obaid, Hasim
    In this paper, we deal with the problem of optimal control for the transmission dynamics of the meningococcal meningitis. The problem is a mathematical model described by a system of nonlinear differential equations. Based on this, two controls are formulated and the resulting system is solved as an optimal control problem. Aiming to minimize the number of illnesses or deaths in the population, we used a control representing a vaccination and another one representing a treatment strategy. We prove that these controls are capable of reducing the number of carriers and infectious individuals. Numerical simulations are carried out to show how to perform the two strategies.
