Optimal switching of vaccination for an infectious disease model

Shraddha Salwahan, Syed Abbas, Abdessamad Tridane

Abstract:
We study a switched SIHR (Susceptible Infected Hospitalized Recovered) model for infectious diseases. The aim is to find the most effective switching signal to manage the disease's effects as effectively as maintaining a continuous vaccination program. A nonlinear, non-convex optimal control problem of the switched system is converted into a linear and convex optimal control problem by applying the theory of moments and semi-definite programming. Finally, some numerical simulations are performed to compare continuous vaccination programs and optimal switching of vaccination control.
