Optimal control of epidemics with limited resources.
We extend the existing work on the time-optimal control of the basic SIR epidemic model with mass action contact rate. Previous results have focused on minimizing an objective function that is a linear combination of the cost associated with using control and either the outbreak size or the infectious burden. We instead, provide analytic solutions for the control that minimizes the outbreak siz...
متن کاملOptimal Allocation of Very Limited Search Resources
This paper presents a probabilistic model for studying the question: given n search resources, where in the search tree should they be ezpended? Specifically, a least-cost root-to-leaf path is sought in a random tree. The tree is known to be binary and complete to depth N. Arc costs are independently set either to 1 (with probability p ) or to 0 (with probability l-p ). The cost of a leaf is th...
متن کاملOptimal allocation of distribution maintenance resources with limited information
Maintenance of distribution systems plays a central, although often overlooked, role in determining both the reliability and cost of supply. In previous work, an approach was developed that optimizes the effectiveness of distribution protective devices. This paper extends that framework to the optimal use of maintenance resources for reliability. Firstly, a framework is established assuming con...
متن کاملOptimal control of epidemics in metapopulations.
Little is known about how best to deploy scarce resources for disease control when epidemics occur in different but interconnected regions. We use a combination of optimal control methods and epidemiological theory for metapopulations to address this problem. We consider what strategy should be used if the objective is to minimize the discounted number of infected individuals during the course ...
متن کاملDynamics of Dengue epidemics using optimal control
We present an application of optimal control theory to Dengue epidemics. This epidemiologic disease is an important theme in tropical countries due to the growing number of infected individuals. The dynamic model is described by a set of nonlinear ordinary differential equations, that depend on the dynamic of the Dengue mosquito, the number of infected individuals, and the people’s motivation t...
