Il giorno Lunedì 4 Dicembre 2017 alle ore 15.30 presso l'Aula D del Plesso di Matematica e Informatica, il Prof. Yetwale Hailu Workineh, dell'Università di Addis Ababa, Etiopia e visiting professor presso l'Università "Federico II" di Napoli terrà un seminario dal titolo:Behaviour Dependent Modelling of Meningitis: Analysis and ControlTutti gli interessati sono invitati a partecipare. Organizzatrice: prof. ssa Maria GroppiAbstract:Behaviour dependent mathematical models for human disease epidemics are very important to study thedynamics of a disease than the traditional mathematical models. The information induced behaviouralchange is found to be useful in reducing the disease outbreak. Optimal control can be alsoapplied in epidemiology to nd optimal interventions to control the spread of infectious diseases with ashort period of time.In this talk, a mathematical model of meningococcal meningitis incorporating vaccination and behaviourchange in adult populations, and treatment of infectious groups is formulated and analysed. In addition,an optimal control problem is formulated. Using Pontryagin's minimum principle, necessary conditionsof optimality are determined. The optimal combination strategies of vaccination, awareness campaignand treatment are found.
