Abstract
AbstractIn this paper, we discussed a stochastic optimal control of hepatitis C that minimizes the side effect and reduces the viral load. The control variables represent the drug therapy used for blocking a new infection and virus production. The solution of control problem is solved using the stochastic minimum principle and a four-step scheme. The numerical simulation is carried out to justify the theoretical analysis. The result shows that using both types of drugs for therapy is much more effective.
