A new social epidemic model to depict alcoholism with media coverage is proposed in this paper. Some fundamental properties of the model including existence and positivity as well as boundedness of equilibria are investigated. Stability of all equilibria are studied. The existence of the optimal control pair and mathematical expressions of optimal control are obtained by Pontryagin's maximum principle. Numerical simulations are also performed to illustrate our results. Our results show that media coverage is an effective measure to quit drinking.
In this paper, we present a continuous mathematical model of alcohol drinking with the influence of private and public addiction treatment centers. We study the dynamical behavior of this model and we discuss the basic properties of the system and determine its basic reproduction number . We also study the sensitivity analysis of model parameters to know the parameters that have a high impact on the reproduction number . The stability analysis of the model shows that the system is locally as well as globally asymptotically stable at drinking-free equilibrium when . When , drinking present equilibrium exists and the system is locally as well as globally asymptotically stable at alcohol present equilibrium .
