Optimal pest control problem in population dynamics

چکیده
One of the main goals of the pest control is to maintain the density of the pest population in the equilibrium level below economic damages. For reaching this goal, the optimal pest control problem was divided in two parts. In the first part, the two optimal control functions were considered. These functions move the ecosystem pest – natural enemy at an equilibrium state below the economic injury level. In the second part, the one optimal control function stabilizes the ecosystem in this level, minimizing the functional that characterizes quadratic deviations of this level. The first problem was resolved through the application of the Maximum Principle of Pontryagin. The Dynamic Programming was used for the resolution of the second optimal pest control problem. Mathematical subject classification: 92D25, 34H05, 49N90.

Models of Applied Population Dynamics
The paper is an overview of our recent results achieved with different coauthors, concerning several research lines of applied population dynamics we initiated some years ago, and mostly published in 2010. First, based on the classical Leslie population model, a dynamic demographic model including controlled immigration is recalled, and applying the Perron-Frobenius theory of nonnegative matric...
متن کاملOptimal Control in Discrete Pest Control Models
We use discrete time models to represent the dynamics of two interacting populations, a “valuable” population and a “pest” population. We investigate optimal control in the form of decreasing the growth rate of the “pest” population with the goal of maximizing the “valuable” population while minimizing the cost of the control. We compare different types of growth functions for the “valuable” po...
