摘要

In this work, we investigate the calibration of diffusion coefficients in a reaction-diffusion system arising in the modelling of the spatial-temporal dynamics of an epidemic. The model assumes a population partitioned into two compartments: susceptible and infected individuals. It captures a scenario with no lasting immunity, allowing recovered individuals to return to the susceptible class. We consider that the diffusion is given by a diagonal matrix with unknown space-dependent entries that should be determined by the knowledge of susceptible and infected populations at some fixed time. The identification of the diffusion parameter is posed as an optimal control problem, where the objective functional is the comparison between the solution of the reaction-diffusion system and the observed data in the L 2 $L^{2}$ -norm, supplemented by a regularization term in L 2 $L^{2}$ -norm of the diffusion coefficient. The analysis of the optimal control formulation is carried out using the Dubovitskii–Milyutin Methodology. We obtain the following main results: the existence of strictly positive solutions for the state equations, demonstrating the existence of optimal solutions, and the necessary optimality conditions of first order.
