Optimal control is the policy of getting the optimized control value for minimizing a predefined cost function. Recently, several optimization methods have been introduced for achieving this purpose.1–4 Among these methods, Pontryagins maximum principle5 and the Hamilton Jacobi Bellman equation6 are the most popular. In Pontryagins maximum principle, the optimal control problem will be converte...

In this work, an optimal control strategy is developed to eliminate the spread of HIV-1. To do this, two control variables are used such as the efficaciousness of drug therapy in reducing the infection of new cells and decreasing the production of new viruses. Existence for the optimal control pair is accomplished and the Pontryagins Maximum Principle is used to characterize these optimal contr...

Optimal control theory is applied to a system of ordinary differential equations modeling Buruli ulcer transmission in population. We apply controls on mass treatment, insecticide and mass education to minimize the number of infected hosts and infected vectors as well as infected fishes. The model takes into account human, water bug and fish populations as well as MU in the environment. The hos...

In this paper, the extension principle is used in order to fuzzify location and scale estimators when used on fuzzy numbers. First, fuzzy nonlinear means, such as arithmetic, harmonic, geometric and fuzzy L p mean are deened as extensions of the corresponding crisp means. Fuzzy maximum and minimum operators are used to deene order statistics of fuzzy numbers. Fuzzy L location and scale estimato...

In this paper optimal control problem of fuzzy linear time invariant systems is considered. Determining of system optimal input with minimizing quadratic integral criterion by using Pontryagin Minimum Principle will make the Fuzzy Partial Differential Equations [FPDEs] system solve the problem. The quality of obtaining system optimal input by solving the FPDEs system has been studied based on n...

In this paper, the fuzzy scalar median (FSM) is proposed, defined by using ordering of fuzzy numbers based on fuzzy minimum and maximum operations defined by using the extension principle. Alternatively, the FSM is defined from the minimization of a fuzzy distance measure, and the equivalence of the two definitions is proven. Then, the fuzzy vector median (FVM) is proposed as an extension of ve...
