Disease Spread in Coupled Populations: Minimizing Response Strategies Costs in Discrete Time Models by Geisel Alpízar, Luis F. Gordillo

“…In both examples we compute approximations for the control levels necessary to minimize costs and quickly contain outbreaks. The main technique used is simulated annealing, a stochastic search optimization tool that, in contrast with traditional analytical methods, allows easy implementation to any number of patches with different kinds of couplings and internal dynamics.…”

Balancing Treatment Allocation over Continuous Covariates: A New Imbalance Measure for Minimization by Yanqing Hu, Feifang Hu

“…The more recent papers seek to define an imbalance measure that preserves the nature of continuous covariates and set the allocation rule in order to minimize that measure. We propose a new design, which defines the imbalance measure by the maximum assignment difference when all possible divisions of the covariate range are considered. …”
