Tuberculosis (TB) is a contagious disease which can easily be disseminated in a society. A five state Susceptible, exposed, infected, recovered and resistant (SEIRs) epidemiological mathematical model of TB has been considered along with two non-linear controllers: State Feedback (SFB) and Synergetic controllers have been designed for the control and prevention of the TB in a population. Using the proposed controllers, the infected individuals have been reduced/controlled via treatment, and susceptible individuals have been prevented from the disease via vaccination. A mathematical analysis has been carried out to prove the asymptotic stability of proposed controllers by invoking the Lyapunov control theory. Simulation results using MATLAB/Simulink manifest that the non-linear controllers show fast convergence of the system states to their respective desired levels. Comparison shows that proposed SFB controller performs better than Synergetic controller in terms of convergence time, steady state error and oscillations.
结核病(TB)是一种传染性疾病,在社会中很容易传播。本文考虑了一个五状态易感染、暴露、感染、恢复和抗性(SEIRs)的结核病流行病学数学模型,并设计了两种非线性控制器:状态反馈(SFB)和协同控制器,用于控制和预防人群中的结核病。使用所提出的控制器,通过治疗来减少/控制感染个体,并通过疫苗接种来预防易感个体患病。通过调用 Lyapunov 控制理论,进行了数学分析以证明所提出的控制器的渐近稳定性。使用 MATLAB/Simulink 的仿真结果表明,非线性控制器使系统状态快速收敛到各自的期望水平。比较表明,在收敛时间、稳态误差和振荡方面,所提出的 SFB 控制器比协同控制器表现更好。
