Numerical dynamics and optimal control for multi-strain age-structured epidemic model
摘要
In this paper, a novel age-structured epidemiological model that simultaneously considers multiple viral strains is proposed. We develop a numerical framework for the study of the dynamics and optimal control by a linearly implicit Euler method, in which the biological meaning is unconditionally preserved. The first order convergence of numerical solutions in a finite time is derived from a uniform numerical boundedness. Moreover, the numerical dynamics are determined by a numerical basic reproduction number
