ABSTRACT

COVID-19 is a pandemic respiratory illness. The disease spreads from human to human and is caused by a novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. In this study, we formulate a mathematical model of COVID-19 and discuss the disease free state and endemic equilibrium of the model. Based on the sensitivity indexes of the parameters, control strategies are designed. The strategies reduce the densities of the infected classes but do not satisfy the criteria/threshold condition of the global stability of disease free equilibrium. On the other hand, the endemic equilibrium of the disease is globally asymptotically stable. Therefore it is concluded that the disease cannot be eradicated with present resources and the human population needs to learn how to live with corona. For validation of the results, numerical simulations are obtained using fourth order Runge-Kutta method.

ABSTRACT

This paper aims to explore the optimal control of the novel pandemic COVID-19 using non-clinical approach. We formulate a mathematical model to analyze the transmission of the infection through different human compartments. By applying a sensitivity test, we obtain the sensitivity indexes of the parameters involved in the transmission of the disease. We demonstrate the most active/sensitive parameters to analyze the spread of the coronavirus COVID-19. The most active transmission parameters are interposed by introducing control variables. The control intervention is in the form of smart lockdown, frequent handwash, control of the disease’s side effects, face mask, and sanitizer. We Formulate Hamilton and Lagrangian to investigate the existence of the optimal control. Pontryagin’s Maximum Principle describes the control variables in the optimal control model. The objective function is designed to reduce both the infection and the cost of interventions. We use numerical simulation to verify the results of the control variables by Matlab 2019.

ABSTRACT

This article focus the elimination and control of the infection caused by COVID-19. Mathematical model of the disease is formulated. With help of sensitivity analysis of the reproduction number the most sensitive parameters regarding transmission of infection are found. Consequently strategies for the control of infection are proposed. Threshold condition for global stability of the disease free state is investigated. Finally, using Matlab numerical simulations are produced for validation of theocratical results.

ABSTRACT

In this work we focus on the eradication of the COVID-19 infection with the help of almost Non Pharmaceutical Interventions(NPIs), using mathematical modelling. First the basic reproduction number R 0 is investigated. Then, on the basis of sensitivity test of R 0 , the most active/sensitive parameters are presented in detail. Non Pharmaceutical Interventions(NPIs) are applied to control the sensitive parameters. The major NPIs are, stay home (isolation), sanitizers (wash hands), Treatment of side effects of infection, like throat infection etc and face mask. These NPIs helps in mitigation and reducing the size of outbreak of the disease. Threshold condition for global stability of the disease free state is investigated.The NPI's are used in different ratios to formulate a strategy. The results of these strategies are validated using Matlab software.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: The outbreak of the current pandemic begun from the first individual of a 55-year old from Hubei province in China, the disease instigated by the new coronavirus spreading across the world. Scientists presently speculate this coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, originated in a bat and by one way or another jumped to another creature, potentially the pangolin, which at that point gave it to people. The ailment is currently spreading between individuals with no animal delegate. Researchers are struggling to follow the infection back to where it started to become familiar with its spread. In the event that, for example, specialists can locate the soonest cases, they might have the option to distinguish the creature have where the infection hides. In March and April 2020, researchers detailed that this virus created normally. Coronavirus has been become of the serious global phenomena in the recent years and has negative effects in the entire world health and economy. The virus is believed to have been associated with a host animal which human contracted. Subsequently, human-to-human infection began. Through migration as humans have become complex with easy mobility the disease has traveled to the entire continent. Now, numerous scientist are going on in the hope of obtaining medication and vaccination to prevent the spread of the disease and mortality of the disease. It is important that we obtain quantitative and qualitative information about the etiology of this disease which is crucial. Mathematical modeling is capable of providing qualitative information on many parameters that guides the decision making of health practitioners. In this work we focus the optimal control of COVID-19 with the help of Non Pharmaceutical Interventions (NPIs). To find the role of factors/parameters in the transmission of the syndrome we find R0; the ratio of reproduction for the proposed model. METHODS: To find the role of parameters in the transmission of the syndrome we find R0; the ratio of reproduction for the proposed model. On the basis of sensitivity indices of the parameters we apply Non Pharmaceutical Interventions(NPIs) to control the sensitive parameters and hence formulate the optimal control mode. With the help of Hamiltonian and Lagrangian we minimize the density of contaminated stuff and infected human population. RESULTS: We focus the optimal control of COVID-19 with the help of Non Pharmaceutical Interventions(NPIs). On the basis of sensitivity indices of the parameters we apply Non Pharmaceutical Interventions(NPIs) to control the sensitive parameters and hence formulate the optimal control model. The major NPIs are, STAY HOME, SANITIZER (wash hands), EARLY CASE DETECTION (PCR Test) and FACE MASK. These NPIs helps in mitigation and reducing the size of outbreak of the disease. CONCLUSION: We check the existence of the optimal solution for the system. At the end, Using matlab we produce numerical simulations for validation of results of control variables. The results demonstrate that if there is no control (variables/interventios), 900 out 1000 susceptible individuals may be infected (exposed) in very short period. As such a circumstances no agency fighting against COVID-19 could be successful due to its limited resources.
