Efficient numerical treatments for a fractional optimal control nonlinear Tuberculosis model

Abstract

In this paper, the general nonlinear multi-strain Tuberculosis model is controlled using the merits of Jacobi spectral collocation method. In order to have a variety of accurate results to simulate the reality, a fractional order model of multi-strain Tuberculosis with its control is introduced, where the derivatives are adopted from Caputo's definition. The shifted Jacobi polynomials are used to approximate the optimality system. Subsequently, Newton's iterative method will be used to solve the resultant nonlinear algebraic equations. A comparative study of the values of the objective functional, between both the generalized Euler method and the proposed technique is presented. We can claim that the proposed technique reveals better results when compared to the generalized Euler method.
