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 کاملDoes NHS staff wellbeing affect patients' experience of care?
It may be reasonable to presume that patients receive better care from staff who feel happier in their work. However, little is known about the strength or possible impact of associations between staff wellbeing and patient outcomes, including their experiences of the care provided. Previous research has tended to focus on single aspects or one staff group (Taylor et al, 2007; Michie et al, 199...
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 policies under social pressure and limited resources
In this paper, we consider the problem of the interplay between a population of (bounded) rational agents and an external authority in the context of a two-period participation game. The agents aim at maximizing the private utility deriving from taking part to a project, or an activity, over two subsequent time periods. On the opposite, the policy maker fixes prices/incentives in order to maxim...
