ga algorithm

In this paper, a model is proposed based on the different levels of social restrictions for the COVID-19.spread restraint in Iran. Also, a Genetic Algorithm (GA) identifies parameters of model using reported main data from the Iranian Ministry of Health and simulated data based on proposed model. Whereas Model Predictive Control (MPC) is a popular method which has been widely used in process control, after the discretization of model by a common method like Euler method, then we can consider the appropriate constraints and solve online optimization problem. In this paper, we have shown that the MPC controller able to flatten infected (symptomatic) individual curve and decrease its peak by applying the different levels of social restrictions. Numerical example and simulation results, based on main data, are given to illustrate the capability of this method.
