Optimal control of a Tuberculosis model with state and control delays by Cristiana J. Silva, Helmut Maurer, Delfim F. M. Torres

“…Although it is well-known that there is a delay between two to eight weeks between TB infection and reaction of body's immune system to tuberculin, delays for the active infected to be detected and treated, and delays on the treatment of persistent latent individuals due to clinical and patient reasons, which clearly justifies the introduction of time delays on state and control measures, our work seems to be the first to consider such time-delays for TB and apply time-delay optimal control to carry out the optimality analysis.…”

A Hierarchical Optimal Control of Uncertain and Time-Varying Knowledge Dissemination Model in Complex Network by Dan Xia, Jian Shen, Jun Mei, Si Zhang

“…In this paper, considering the multifactor influence of the knowledge dissemination process, a new ignorant-knower-spreader-forgetter (IKSF) knowledge dissemination model is proposed, which considers internalization mechanism, degradation mechanism, communication, and willingness, as well as time-varying and uncertain parameters. First, we prove that the knowledge loss equilibrium of the model is globally asymptotically stable when the basic reproduction number R0<1, and knowledge is permanent when R0>1. …”

The Optimized Design and Principal Analysis of a Toe-End Sliding Sleeve by Wei Li, Fulu Chen, Mengyu Cao, Huan Zhao, Wangluo Ning, Tianchi Ma, Mingxiu Zhang

“…Through hydraulic control principles, numerical simulation and indoor testing, the opening principle of a toe-end sliding sleeve with a time delay mechanism is explained. Conventional toe-end sliding sleeve in shale oil wells have problems with premature opening and a failure to open, which means they cannot ensure the whole-well pressure test process and can cause serious economic losses to the oil and gas industry. …”
