Optimal Control of a Spatio-Temporal Model for Malaria: Synergy Treatment and Prevention

We propose a metapopulation model for malaria with two control variables, treatment and prevention, distributed between 𝑛 different patches (localities). Malaria spreads between these localities through human travel. We used the theory of optimal control and applied a mathematical model for three co...
