A SCENARIO TO FIGHT MONKEYPOX USING A MATHEMATICAL MODEL

Abstract

In this paper, we consider a scenario to attack the infectious disease monkeypox taking advantage of the experience we have with the Corona epidemic to reduce its negative effects on humanity and the world economies. This by proposing three control strategies. Pontryagin’s maximum principle is applied in order to characterize the optimal controls, and the optimality system is resolved using an iterative approach. At last, numerical simulations are executed to verify the theoretical analysis using MATLAB.
