Another approach to the classical calculus of variations. I
The main goal of this paper is to show some applications of the optimal control theory to the wastewater elimination problem. Firstly, we deal with the numerical simulation of a given situation. We present a suitable mathematical model, propose a method to solve it and show the numerical results for a realistic situation in the ría of Arousa (Spain). Secondly, in the same framework of wastewater elimination problem, we pose two economic-environmental problems which can be formulated as constrained...
