Abstract: With thousands of people moving from one area to another day by day, in a chain of regions tightly more interconnected than other regions in a given large domain, an epidemic may spread rapidly around it from any point of borders. It might be sometimes urgent to impose travel restrictions to inhibit the spread of infection. As we aim to protect susceptible people of this chain to contactinfected travelers coming from its neighbors, we follow the so-called travel-blocking vicinity optimal control approach with the introduction of the notion of patch for representing our targeted group of ...
