Boundary optimal control of time-space SIR model with nonlinear Robin boundary condition.

Abstract

A boundary optimal control problem arising in time-space SIR epidemic models is treated. In this work we aim with the control of the flux of infected individuals crossing part of boundary. On the other side of the domain, we suppose a nonlinear boundary condition of third kind: nonlinear Robin boundary condition, this condition models immersing individual crossing this part of the boundary of the domain of study. We give the existence and uniqueness of the solution of both state and optimal control problem ending some numerical tests throughout a simple example.
