A linear quadratic regulator for nonlinear SIRC epidemic model
The control of an epidemic disease consists in introducing the strategies able to reduce the number of infected subjects by means of medication/quarantine actions, and the number of the subjects that could catch the disease through an informative campaign and, when available, a vaccination strategy. Some diseases, like the influenza, do not guarantee immunity; therefore, the subjects could get ill again by different strain of the same viral subtype.
