The epidemic diffusion model is used to construct the … allocation problem when an epidemic outbreak is formulated. It takes consideration of the time evolution and dynamic nature of …

We study a setting where ICU resources are constrained while suppression is costly (e.g., limiting … suppression measures are continuously taken to hold down the spread throughout the epidemic, is suboptimal. Instead, the optimal … suppression is discountinuous. The epidemic should be left unregulated in a first phase and when the ICU constraint is approaching …
