Fractional optimal control problem for a mathematical modeling of African swine fever virus transmission

Abstract To have a more realistic model, in this paper, This manuscript is devoted to investigating a fractional-order mathematical model of Kouidere et al. That describes the dynamics of spread of African swine fever virus (ASFV). The aim of this work is to protect susceptible pigs from the virus, In our model, by including three controls which represent: the iron fencing and spraying pesticides and get rid. The aims of this paper is to reduce the number of infected pigs and ticks by using optimal control strategy and fractinal order derivation. Pontryagin’s maximal principle is used to describe optimal controls with Caputo time-fractional derivative and the optimal system is resolved in an iterative manner. Numerical simulations are presented based on the presented method. We finished tis article with a conclusion.
