In this paper, we present an application of optimal control theory on a two-dimensional spatial-temporal SEIR (susceptible, exposed, infected, and restored) epidemic model, in the form of a partial differential equation. Our goal is to minimize the number of susceptible and infected individuals and to maximize recovered individuals by reducing the cost of vaccination. In addition, the existence of the optimal control and solution of the state system is proven. The characterization of the control is given in terms of state function and adjoint. Numerical results are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of our adopted approach.

A modified ”SIR” epidemic model is proposed taking into account of suitable protein doses thatare applied on the total population as a control to manage a disease outbreak when treatments arenot available. The proteins cause a change in behavior resulting in three susceptible classes. Thestability analysis is studied and the optimal control theory is applied to the system of differentialequations to achieve the goal of minimizing the infected population (while minimizing the cost).Some numerical simulations are given in order to illustrate the obtained results.

AbstractBuilding on an SEIR-type model of COVID-19 where the infecteds are further divided into symptomatic and asymptomatic, a system incorporating the various possible interventions is formulated. Interventions, also referred to as controls, include transmission reduction (e.g., lockdown, social distancing, barrier gestures); testing/isolation on the exposed, symptomatic and asymptomatic compartments; and medical controls such as enhancing patients’ medical care and increasing bed capacity. By considering the government’s capacity, the best strategies for implementing the controls were obtained using optimal control theory. Results show that, if all the controls are to be used, the more able the government is, the more it should implement transmission reduction, testing, and enhancing patients’ medical care without increasing hospital beds. However, if the government finds it very difficult to implement the controls for economic reasons, the best approach is to increase the hospital beds. Moreover, among the testing/isolation controls, testing/isolation in the exposed compartment is the least needed when there is significant transmission reduction control. Surprisingly, when there is no transmission reduction control, testing/isolation in the exposed should be optimal. Testing/isolation in the exposed could seemingly replace the transmission reduction control to yield a comparable result to that when the transmission reduction control is being implemented.
