Abstract:This paper is concerned with the well-posedness and optimal control problem of a reaction–diffusion system for an epidemic susceptible–exposed–infected–recovered–susceptible mathematical model in which the dynamics develops in a spatially heterogeneous environment. Using as control variables the transmission rates [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] of contagion resulting from the contact with both asymptomatic and symptomatic persons, respectively, we optimize the number of exposed and infected indivi… Show more
