Abstract

Ebola virus disease is a severe, often-fatal illness and has a case fatality rate up to 90%. Ebola crisis could severely do harm to the economies of Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone unless action is taken quickly. In order to eradicate the disease with the shortest time and the least cost, we build a feasible delivery system. We abstract our delivery system into a network, where points is place to store medication and edges is transport lines.This is a multi-objective optimization problem which is related to the demand of the medication and the least cost. Based on the reality,we establish a target equation to minimize expenditure, taking the amount of the medication needed and offered as non-linear constrains. Besides, we define an algorithm to measure the amount of medication distributed in different points and get the amount of the medication to deliver in different two points.
