Résumé : Optimal control for approximate chain-binomial epidemics is examined when control action is effected by treatments that immunize a random number of the susceptibles depending on the treatment intensity level. Dynamic programming is used to determine the optimal operating strategy and to find conditions under which the bang-bang policies are optimal. This model generalizes in some sense the model of control by immunization due to Dayananda and Hogarth [3]. © 1979.
