  • Abstract
    This paper discusses an optimal antiviral treatment strategy for the outbreak of influenza. The optimal control problem is formulated by minimizing the number of infected individuals at a minimal intervention cost. The existence of an optimal solution for the control problem is proved. In addition, with the Pontryagin´s Maximum Principle, the time-varying optimal strategy of antiviral treatment is obtained.
