Figure 7.6: Susceptible and infectious humans for b = 0.25;0.3;0.4;0.5;0.6;0.7;0.75.
For smaller proportions of ITN usage than b = 0.75, similar results on the reduction
of infectious humans are attained when we consider the optimal supervision control u (see
Figures 7.6 and 7.7). We note that the control u does not contribute significantly for the
decrease of Iv (see Figure 7.8).
