A multi-regions discrete-time epidemic model with a travel-blocking vicinity optimal control approach on patches

Abstract We study, in this paper, infection dynamics when an epidemic emerges to many regions which are connected with their neighbors by any kind of anthropological movement. For this, we devise a multi-regions discrete-time model with the three classical SIR compartments, describing the spatial-te...
