Optimal control of vaccine distribution in a rabies metapopulation model

We consider an SIR metapopulation model for the spread of rabiesin raccoons. This system of ordinary differential equations considers subpop-ulations connected by movement. Vaccine for raccoons is distributed throughfood baits. We apply optimal control theory to find the best timing for dis-tributio...
