Optimal control in multi-group coupled within-host and between-host models

We formulate and then analyze a multi-group coupled within-host model of ODEs and between-host model of ODE and first-order PDEs, using the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) for illustration. The basic reproduction number of the multi-group coupled epidemiological model is derived, steady...
