title: Dynamics of pest and its predator model with disease in the pest and optimal use of pesticide.
abstract: In this paper, we propose and analyze a prey-predator system. Here the prey population is taken as pest and the predators are those eat the pests. Moreover we assume that the prey species is infected with a viral disease forming into susceptible and infected classes and infected prey is more vulnerable to predation by the predator. The dynamical behavior of this system both analytically and numerically is investigated from the point of view of stability and bifurcation. Then we explicitly introduce a control variable for pest control into the analysis by considering the associated control cost. In the nonconstant control case, we use Pontrygin's Maximum principle to derive necessary conditions for the optimal control of the pest. Then we demonstrated the analytical results by numerical analysis and characterized the effects of the parameter values on optimal strategy.
