Abstract :
Usually in the analysis of epidemic models only the susceptible or infected people are controlled by vaccination or by quarantine and/or medicine treatment. In this paper multiple controls in epidemic model are introduced and the possible advantages are investigated; the problem is studied in the case of fixed final time. Numerical results are considered for simulated data showing the effects of multiple controls and the rule of each parameter of the model.
