  • Optimal harvesting of continuous age structured populations

    Creator:
    Smith, Steven J.
    Abstract:
    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 boundary condition which involves an integral of the solution. We study two problems, the first concerns the yield...
