Optimal Control of an SIR Epidemic Model with a Saturated Treatment
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, we formulate an optimal control problem for an SIR epidemic model with saturated incidence and saturated treatment. Two main efforts, namely treatment and vaccination are considered to limit the disease transmission. The impacts of vaccination and treatment on the disease transmission are discussed through the basic reproduction number. Then to achieve control of the disease, a control problem is formulated and the existence of the control is shown. Two control functions are used, one for vaccinating the susceptible and the other for treatment efforts for infectious individuals. Appropriate optimal control methods are used to characterize the optimal levels of the two controls. The effectiveness of the proposed control solution is shown by comparing the behavior of controlled and uncontrolled systems. Numerical results show the impacts of two controls in decreasing both susceptible and infectious members of the population.

Stability Analysis and Optimal Control of Vaccination and Treatment of a SIR Epidemiological Deterministic Model with Relapse
In this paper, we studied and formulated the relapsed SIR model of a constant size population with standard incidence rate. Also, the optimal control problem with treatment and vaccination as controls, subject to the model is formulated. The analysis carried out on the model, clearly showed that the infection free steady state is globally asymptotically stable if the bas...

متن کاملStability Analysis and Optimal Vaccination Strategies for an SIR Epidemic Model with a Nonlinear Incidence Rate
An SIR epidemic model with saturated incidence rate and a vaccination program is formulated, where the susceptibles are assumed to satisfy the logistic equation. The incidence term is of saturated form with the infected individuals. First, we have discussed the existence and the stability of both the disease free and endemic equilibrium. Second, the impact of vaccination in reducing R(u) is tac...

Abstract. In this study we consider a mathematical model of an SIR epidemic model with a saturated incidence rate. We used the optimal vaccination strategies to minimize the susceptible and infected individuals and to maximize the number of recovered individuals. We work in the nonlinear optimal control framework. The existence result was discussed. A characterization of the optimal control via...
متن کاملDynamics of a Delayed Epidemic Model with Beddington-DeAngelis Incidence Rate and a Constant Infectious Period
In this paper, an SIR epidemic model with an infectious period and a non-linear Beddington-DeAngelis type incidence rate function is considered. The dynamics of this model depend on the reproduction number R0. Accurately, if R0 < 1, we show the global asymptotic stability of the disease-free equilibrium by analyzing the corresponding characteristic equation and using compa...
