T-lymphocyteCell InjectionCancer Immunotherapy: an Optimal Control Approach
Authors
Abstract:
We consider amathematical model in the form of a system of ordinary differential equations (ODE) foroptimally administrating cancer treatments. The ODE systemdynamics characterized by locating equilibrium points and stability propertiesare determined by linearization and usingappropriate Lyapunovfunctions. By applying optimal control theory, we seek to minimize the cost function associated with the vaccine therapy looking forminimization of the tumor cells. Global existence of a solution is shown for this model and existence of an optimal control is proven. The optimality conditions and characterization of the control are discussed

Dendritic Immunotherapy Improvement for an Optimal Control Murine Model
Therapeutic protocols in immunotherapy are usually proposed following the intuition and experience of the therapist. In order to deduce such protocols mathematical modeling, optimal control and simulations are used instead of the therapist's experience. Clinical efficacy of dendritic cell (DC) vaccines to cancer treatment is still unclear, since dendritic cells face several obstacles in the hos...
full textThe Optimal Design of the VSI T^2 Control Chart
Recent studies have shown that the variable sampling interval (VSI) scheme helps practitioners detect process shifts more quickly than the classical scheme (FRS). In this paper, the economically and statistically optimal design of the VSI T2 control chart for monitoring the process mean vector is investigated. The cost model proposed by Lorenzen and Vance (1986) is minimized through a genetic a...
full textEffects of Fiscal and Monetary Policies on the Iranian Economy: An Optimal Control Approach
This paper evaluates the interacted effects of the fiscal and monetary policies on the nominal and real macro-variables of the Iranian economy. Our analysis is thus based on the optimal control theory by which the optimal path of the control variables including monetary and fiscal tools are determined over the period 1963-2006. We also use a macro-econometric model in form of a simultaneous equ...
full textAn approach for simultaneously determining the optimal trajectory and control of a cancerous model
The main attempt of this article is extension the method so that it generallywould be able to consider the classical solution of the systems and moreover,produces the optimal trajectory and control directly at the same time. There-fore we consider a control system governed by a bone marrow cancer equation.Next, by extending the underlying space, the existence of the solution is con-sidered and ...
full textUniform Cooling: An Optimal Control Approach
An optimal control problem for the heat equation is considered. The form of the functional is chosen to guarantee a uniform cooling of a rod. The problem is approximated by a finite dimensional optimal control problem. The optimal solution to the latter problem is studied analytically. It is shown that the original problem can be reduced to a simple three-dimensional optimization problem.
full textCancer Behavior: An Optimal Control Approach.
With special attention to cancer, this essay explains how Optimal Control Theory, mainly used in Economics, can be applied to the analysis of biological behaviors, and illustrates the ability of this mathematical branch to describe biological phenomena and biological interrelationships. Two examples are provided to show the capability and versatility of this powerful mathematical approach in th...
