In this section, to understand the contagion process and the evolution of the epidemic, we assume that there exists a control policy u(·) which assures that infected cases I(k), susceptible cases S(k), recovered cases R(k) and deceased cases D(k) are all nonnegative for all k with probability one. With the aids of Theorem 4.2 and Lemma 4.4, we see that if we take linear feedback policy with constant gain; i.e., u(k) = KI(k) and assuming that δ max < v min ( such that infected cases I(k) ≤ M D for all k with probability one. ./cache/cord-244687-xmry4xj4.txt ./txt/cord-244687-xmry4xj4.txt
