Abstract:
In this talk, numerical studies for the multi-strain Tuberculosis (TB) model, that incorporates
three strains, i.e., drug-sensitive, emerging multi-drug resistant (MDR) and extensively
drug-resistant (XDR), which developed by J. Arino and I. soliman (2014), are introduced. The adopted model is described by a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations(ODEs). Special class of numerical methods, known as nonstandard finite difference method (NSFDM) is introduced. The obtained results of using NSFDM are compared with other known numerical methods such as implicit Euler method and fourth-order Runge-Kutta (RK4) method. Also, the fractional order multi-strain TB model (FOTBM) as a novelmodel is presented . The fractional derivative is defined in the sense of Grünwald-Letinkovdefinition. Two numerical methods are presented to study this model, the standard finite difference method (SFDM) and NSFDM. The stability of equilibrium points is studied. As anextension of FOTBM, the variable-order fractional multi-strain TB model (VOFTBM) is presented. The variable-order fractional derivative is defined in this sense of Grünwald-Letinkov definition. Two numerical methods are presented for this model, SFDM and NSFDM. The stability of equilibrium points is studied. Finally, The optimal control for multi strain TB model is presented. TB control problem is formulated and studied theoretically using the Pontryagin maximum principle. Different optimal control strategies are proposed to minimize the cost of interventions.
