Optimal control of a social epidemic model with media coverage

open access: yesJournal of Biological Dynamics, 2017
A new social epidemic model to depict alcoholism with media coverage is proposed in this paper. Some fundamental properties of the model including existence and positivity as well as boundedness of equilibria are investigated. Stability of all equilibria

A Dynamic Model for Fishery Resource with Reserve Area and Taxation

open access: yesJournal of Applied Mathematics, 2012
The present paper deals with a dynamic reaction model of a fishery. The dynamics of a fishery resource system in an aquatic environment consists of two zones: a free fishing zone and a reserve zone.

Optimal Harvest Control in a Singular Prey-Predator Fishery Model with Maturation Delay and Gestation Delay

open access: yesDiscrete Dynamics in Nature and Society, 2016
This paper presents a singular prey-predator fishery model, where maturation delay for prey and gestation delay for predator are considered. Fishing efforts are introduced to harvest prey and predator population, which are developed as control ...

Principal eigenvalues for k-Hessian operators by maximum principle methods

open access: yes, 2017
For fully nonlinear k-Hessian operators on bounded strictly (k-1)-convex domains of Euclidian space, a characterization of the principal eigenvalue associated to a k-convex and negative principal eigenfunction will be given as the supremum over values of

Geometry of Optimal Control for Control-Affine Systems

open access: yesSymmetry, Integrability and Geometry: Methods and Applications, 2013
Motivated by the ubiquity of control-affine systems in optimal control theory, we investigate the geometry of point-affine control systems with metric structures in dimensions two and three.

An optimal control model for monkeypox transmission dynamics with vaccination and immunity loss following recovery

open access: yesHealthcare Analytics
The viral illness known as monkeypox causes symptoms such a rash that can appear on the hands, feet, chest, face, and lips or near the genitalia. This study presents a mathematical model for the kinetics of monkeypox transmission with vaccination and ...

Optimal management of a renewable resource utilized by a population with taxation as a control variable

open access: yesNonlinear Analysis, 2013
A dynamical model is proposed and analyzed to discuss the effect of population on a resource biomass by taking into account the crowding effect. It is assumed that the resource biomass, which has commercial importance, is subjected to harvesting.

Optimal control of Cocoa Black pod disease: A multi-pronged approach

open access: yesFranklin Open
This study presents a novel approach to controlling cocoa black pod disease, caused by Phytophthora megakarya. Unlike previous methods, we employ a mathematical modeling framework based on Pontryagin’s Maximum Principle to optimize control strategies ...

Optimal input design for model discrimination using Pontryagin's maximum principle: Application to kinetic model structures

open access: yes, 2014
The paper presents a methodology for an optimal input design for model discrimination. To allow analytical solutions, the method, using Pontryagin’s maximum principle, is developed for non-linear single-state systems that are affine in their joint input.

Optimizing Variational Quantum Algorithms Using Pontryagin’s Minimum Principle

open access: yes, 2017
We use Pontryagin’s minimum principle to optimize variational quantum algorithms. We show that for a fixed computation time, the optimal evolution has a bang-bang (square pulse) form, both for closed and open quantum systems with Markovian decoherence ...
