Optimal control strategy for the effects of hard water consumption on kidney-related diseases.

OBJECTIVES : We study the optimal control strategy for the effects of hard water consumption on kidney-related diseases. The mathematical model has been formulated and studied to gain insights on the optimal control strategy on the effects of hard-water consumption on kidney-related diseases. The positivity and boundedness of the solutions are determined.
