Optimal harvesting of continuous age structured populations

Smith, Steven J. (1988-04-28)

We investigate the optimal harvesting strategies for McKendrick type population models. Models of this type endow the population with a continuous age structure. They consist of a partial differential equation with a bou ...
Two numerical methods for the solutions of optimal control problems with computed error bounds using the maximum principle of pontryagin

Lodwick, Weldon A. (1979-09-14)

A simplification of the proof of the maximum principle of Pontryagin is obtained for constrained and unconstrained optimal control problems. Two numerical methods for solving optimal control problems with guaranteed e ...
