Controle Ótimo em Epidemias de Dengue

ABSTRACT

Dengue virus infection is nowadays one of the major worldwide public health problems. As there is no vaccine against dengue virus, it is important to have mathematical models that represent the dynamics of the epidemic aiming to control the spread of disease. In this work, we use a system SEIR continuous modeling the dynamics of dengue transmission and made a study of the stability of model with the biologically feasible equilibria points. The aim of this work is to apply alternative control strategies to reduce the spread of this infectious disease. The strategy used was the optimal control for non linear systems. Numerical simulations show the effectiveness of the proposed control.
