Disease Spread in Coupled Populations: Minimizing Response Strategies Costs in Discrete Time Models
Figure 3
(a) The population of susceptible and infected individuals for the worst case () and the results of applying the minimizing algorithm (▲). (b) Total of infected individuals in both populations presents the worst case () and the minimized results (▲). The delay in the introduction of infective individuals produces an apparent reemergence. (c) Strategy that minimizes the combined costs of the disease impact and the control of the disease spread.
