  3. Abstract:
  4. We study a system of ordinary differential equations which describes the metapopulation SIR model. The main target is to control the epidemic spreading using the structure of connections between cities. For this purpose, we formulate optimal control strategy that the control represents a drug treatment and Prevention strategies . Some methods are given in numerical example section such as control through spectral radius of movement matrix or optimal control through travelling between cities. Existence results for the optimal control are studied
