Mathematical modeling and optimal control strategy for the monkeypox epidemic

In this study, we propose a discrete time mathematical model (SEIQR) that describes the dynamics of monkeypox within a human population.  The studied population is divided into five compartments: susceptible ($S$), exposed ($E$), infected ($I$), quarantined ($Q$), and recovered ($R$).  Also, we propose an optimal strategy to fight against the spread of this epidemic.  In this sense we use three controls which represent: 1) the awarness of vulnerable people through the media, civil society and education; 2) the quarantine of infected persons at home or, if required, in h

Discrete mathematical modeling and optimal control of the marital status: Islamic polygamous marriage model case

In this paper, we discuss a discrete mathematical model of Islamic polygamy and the social position of Muslims.  In eleven compartments we explain the social situation and give an explanation of the marital status of each Males and females in Islamic societies that allow polygamy.  In order to controlling and reducing the number of virgins men and women, divorced men and women we implement two control variables.  The first control characterizes the benefits of an awareness campaign to educate virgin men and women about the benefits marriage to the individual and society

Algorithm of the successive approximation method for optimal control problems with phase restrictions for mechanics tasks

The algorithm of the method of successive approximations for problems of optimal control in the presence of arbitrary restrictions on control and phase variables is proposed.  The approach is based on the procedures of consistent satisfaction of the necessary conditions of optimality in the form of Pontryagin's maximum principle.  The algorithm application for the problems of weight optimization of power elements of structures in the presence of constraints of strength, rigidity, and technological requirements is demonstrated.
