Abstract

A normalized pneumonia mathematical model is formulated and analyzed to describe the transmission dynamics of pneumonia disease with a varying population size and in the presence of drug resistance threats. The main aim of the study is to formulate and analyze a pneumonia optimal control model that implements varied control strategies against antibiotic resistance threats and varying population size. The stability theory of differential equations and Pontryagin's Maximum Principle for an optimality system were employed to determine the crucial properties of the mathematical model. The basic reproduction number is determined using the Next generation matrix approach and the stability analysis for the disease-free and as well as for the endemic equilibrium are determined. The sensitivity indices of the effective reproduction number to the crucial parameter values are determined and ranked as per their impact on the transmission of pneumonia disease. We extend the model to an optimal control problem with four control strategies: disease prevention effort, treatment effort that minimize the sensitive and resistant strain and immunity control effort. The optimal control analysis of the adopted control efforts revealed that the combination of prevention and treatment, prevention and immunity control and a combination of all controls are the effective intervention strategies that result in a decrease in infections in the community. Numerical simulations are performed for a combination of other strategies and pertinent results were displayed graphically.
