Simulation Of Optimal Control Of Vaccination For Svihr Covid-19 Epidemic Model, Kantanop Yimfan

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

Infectious disease modeling plays a crucial role in understanding and managing epidemic outbreaks. Mathematical models, combined with control strategies, can help guide effective interventions and policy making. In this study, we examined an epidemic model, so-called SV IHR, which is an extended SIR model with additional states to incorporate vaccination and treatment. Our goal is to determine parameters known as controls; specifically, the vaccination proportion, through the framework of the optimal control problems. We defined an objective function and explored the control strategies that optimize it. Numerical simulations were then performed to illustrate the dynamics of the epidemic both with …
