Abstract

Optimal Control Problem with the state equations which describes the standard SIR Model is studied here. We considered the SIR Model with vaccination and without vaccination. We formulated an optimal control problem and derived necessary conditions. Existence of the state and the objective functional are also verified. We also characterized the optimal control by Pontryagin’s maximum principle which minimizes the number of infected individuals and cost of vaccination over some finite period. Whenever the vaccination is carried out for a long period of time, the simulated result effectively works for disease with high transmission rate. Observations from the numerical simulation revels that the infectious diseases are most successfully controlled whenever control strategies were adopted at early stages.
