    Global warming is adversely affecting the earth's climate system due to rapid emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs). Consequently, the world's coastal ecosystems are rapidly approaching a dangerous situation. In this study, we formulate a mathematical model to assess the impact of rapid emissions of GHGs on climate change and coastal ecosystems. Furthermore, we develop a mitigation method involving two control strategies: coastal greenbelt and desulfurization. Here, greenbelt is considered in coastal areas to reduce the concentrations of GHGs by absorbing the environmental carbon dioxide (CO2), whereas desulfurization is considered in factories and industries to reduce GHG emissions by controlling the release of harmful sulfur compounds. The model and how it can control the situation are analytically verified. Numerical results of this study are confirmed by comparison with other studies that examine different scenarios. Results show that both control strategies can mitigate GHG concentrations, curtail global warming and to some extent manage climate change. The results further reveal that both control strategies are more effective than one control method. Overall, the results suggest that the concentrations of GHGs and the effects of climate change can be controlled by adopting sufficient coastal greenbelt and desulfurization techniques in various industries

    Here we derive a variant of the nonsmooth maximum principle for optimal control problems with both pure state and mixed state and control constraints. Our necessary conditions include a Weierstrass condition together with an Euler adjoint inclusion involving the joint subdifferentials with respect to both state and control, generalizing previous results in [M.d.R. de Pinho, M.M.A. Ferreira, F.A.C.C. Fontes, Unmaximized inclusion necessary conditions for nonconvex constrained optimal control problems. ESAIM: COCV 11 (2005) 614-632]. A notable feature is that our main results are derived combining old techniques with recent results. We use a well known penalization technique for state constrained problem together with an appeal to a recent nonsmooth maximum principle for problems with mixed constraints

Individually, each of these infections presents a significant health challenge. However, when tuberculosis, malaria, and HIV co-occur, the symptoms can worsen, leading to an increased mortality risk. Mathematical models have been created to study coinfections involving tuberculosis, malaria, and HIV. This systematic literature review explores the importance of coinfection models by examining articles from reputable databases such as Dimensions, ScienceDirect, Scopus, and PubMed. The primary emphasis is on investigating coinfection models related to tuberculosis, malaria, and HIV. The findings demonstrate that each article thoroughly covers various aspects, including model development, mathematical analysis, sensitivity analysis, optimal control strategies, and research discoveries. Based on our comprehensive evaluation, we offer valuable recommendations for future research efforts in this field.Keywords: tuberculosis, malaria, HIV, AIDS, coinfection, model, systematics literature revie
