Control Design for Preventing Dengue Infections using Input-Output Linearization Method

Abstract

This study deals with a theoretical study of control design to prevent transmission of dengue fever viruses. The input-output linearization method is a feedback control method that can be applied to design the control functions so that the transmission of dengue viruses can be disrupted. Fogging is considered as an eradication effort and vaccination is considered as a prevention effort. Both treatments are considered as the input controls of the method while infected human variable is considered as the output control. By treating eradication effort and prevention effort as the control inputs we design controls that can stabilize the system and lead the infected population going to zero. Some numerical schemes are presented to confirm the theoretical results and the analytical results.
