Abstract

In the present paper, we consider a mathematical model of a SEIR with immigration of infectives. The optimal control theory is applied to reduce the latent and infectious groups, increase the number of recovered individuals and this with an optimal cost. We use two controls representing the effort that reduces the contact between the infectious and susceptible individuals and a therapeutic treatment. We presents an approach that investigates a free terminal optimal time control witch give a minimum duration of a vaccination campaign. The Pontryagin’s maximum principle is used to characterize the optimal controls and the optimal final time.We obtained an optimality system that we sought to solve numerically by an iterative discrete scheme that converges following an appropriate test similar the one related to the forward-backward sweep method.
