文摘Optimal control theory is applied to a system of ordinary differential equations modeling banana Xanthomonas wilt within plantations. The objective is to reduce the proportion of infected plants by use of controls representing two types of preventive methods: vector and contaminated tool prevention. The optimal controls are characterized in terms of the optimality system, which is solved analytically and numerically for several scenarios.
