An Optimal Control Problem for a Predator-Prey Reaction-Diffusion System

N. C. Apreutesei (2010)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

An optimal control problem is studied for a predator-prey system of PDE, with a logistic growth rate of the prey and a general functional response of the predator. The control function has two components. The purpose is to maximize a mean density of the two species in their habitat. The existence of the optimal solution is analyzed and some necessary optimality conditions are established. The form of the optimal control is found in some particular...

An optimal control problem for a pseudoparabolic variational inequality

Igor Bock, Ján Lovíšek (1992)

Applications of Mathematics

We deal with an optimal control problem governed by a pseudoparabolic variational inequality with controls in coefficients and in convex sets of admissible states. The existence theorem for an optimal control parameter will be proved. We apply the theory to the original design problem for a deffection of a viscoelastic plate with an obstacle, where the variable thickness of the plate appears as a control variable.

An optimal matching problem

Ivar Ekeland (2005)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Given two measured spaces ( X , μ ) and ( Y , ν ) , and a third space Z , given two functions u ( x , z ) and v ( x , z ) , we study the problem of finding two maps s : X Z and t : Y Z such that the images s ( μ ) and t ( ν ) coincide, and the integral X u ( x , s ( x ) ) d μ - Y v ( y , t ( y ) ) d ν is maximal. We give condition on u and v for which there is a unique solution.

An optimal shape design problem for a hyperbolic hemivariational inequality

Leszek Gasiński (2000)

Discussiones Mathematicae, Differential Inclusions, Control and Optimization

In this paper we consider hemivariational inequalities of hyperbolic type. The existence result for hemivariational inequality is given and the existence theorem for the optimal shape design problem is shown.

An optimality system for finite average Markov decision chains under risk-aversion

Alfredo Alanís-Durán, Rolando Cavazos-Cadena (2012)

Kybernetika

This work concerns controlled Markov chains with finite state space and compact action sets. The decision maker is risk-averse with constant risk-sensitivity, and the performance of a control policy is measured by the long-run average cost criterion. Under standard continuity-compactness conditions, it is shown that the (possibly non-constant) optimal value function is characterized by a system of optimality equations which allows to obtain an optimal stationary policy. Also, it is shown that the...

An optimum design problem in magnetostatics

Antoine Henrot, Grégory Villemin (2002)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis - Modélisation Mathématique et Analyse Numérique

In this paper, we are interested in finding the optimal shape of a magnet. The criterion to maximize is the jump of the electromagnetic field between two different configurations. We prove existence of an optimal shape into a natural class of domains. We introduce a quasi-Newton type algorithm which moves the boundary. This method is very efficient to improve an initial shape. We give some numerical results.

An overview of semi-infinite programming theory and related topics through a generalization of the alternative theorems.

Miguel Angel Goberna, Marco A. López Cerdá, Jesús Pastor, Enriqueta Vercher (1984)

Trabajos de Estadística e Investigación Operativa

We propose new alternative theorems for convex infinite systems which constitute the generalization of the corresponding to Gale, Farkas, Gordan and Motzkin. By means of these powerful results we establish new approaches to the Theory of Infinite Linear Inequality Systems, Perfect Duality, Semi-infinite Games and Optimality Theory for non-differentiable convex Semi-Infinite Programming Problem.
