Optimal prediction of the last-passage time of a transient diffusion [PDF]
, 2014 © 2014 Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics We identify the integrable stopping time τ∗ with minimal L1-distance from the last-passage time γz associated with a given level z > 0, for an arbitrary nonnegative time-homogeneous transient ...

How to mathematically optimize drug regimens using optimal control [PDF]
Journal of Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics, 2018 This article gives an overview of a technique called optimal control, which is used to optimize real-world quantities represented by mathematical models. I include background information about the historical development of the technique and applications in a variety of fields.

Discrete Particle Swarm Optimization for the minimum labelling Steiner tree problem [PDF]
, 2008 Particle Swarm Optimization is an evolutionary method inspired by the social behaviour of individuals inside swarms in nature. Solutions of the problem are modelled as members of the swarm which fly in the solution space.

Fast iterative solvers for PDE-constrained optimization problems [PDF]
, 2013 In this thesis, we develop preconditioned iterative methods for the solution of matrix systems arising from PDE-constrained optimization problems. In order to do this, we exploit saddle point theory, as this is the form of the matrix systems we wish to ...

THE INFLUENZA AH1N1: A MATHEMATICAL MODEL WITH APPLICATION OF OPTIMAL CONTROL [PDF]
International Journal of Pure and Apllied Mathematics, 2016 تنتقل الأنفلونزا البشرية مباشرة من شخص مريض إلى شخص سليم، عن طريق الجو، خلال فترة أعراض المرض. تتفاعل الفوعة ومولدات الفيروس ومناعة المضيف والبيئة مع بعضها البعض مما يؤثر على انتقال الفيروس من شخص لآخر. منذ التنبيه في عام 2009 للأنفلونزا بسبب فيروس H1N1، زاد عدد الحالات الجديدة على الرغم من تنفيذ تدابير المكافحة، مثل ارتداء الأقنعة، وغيرها من التوصيات ...

Mathematical Modeling and Optimal Control of Complex Epidemiological Networks [PDF]
, 2021 An optimal strategy for controlling the dynamics of a multi-scale complex network of epidemiological models is investigated. We focus on the chikungunya epidemic and consider the spreading of the disease within an indigenous urban region contaminated after the transmission of the virus to the local vectorial fauna by a single human individual.

Second Order Sufficient Conditions for Optimal Control Problems with Non-unique Minimizers: An Abstract Framework [PDF]
, 2014 Standard second order sufficient conditions in optimal control theory provide not only the information that an extremum is a weak local minimizer, but also tell us that the extremum is locally unique.

A model predictive control approach to the periodic implementation of the solutions of the optimal dynamic resource allocation problem [PDF]
, 2011 This paper proposes a model predictive control (MPC) approach to the periodic implementation of the optimal solutions of a class of resource allocation problems in which the allocation requirements and conditions repeat periodically over time.
