Optimal control applied to biological models

"From economics and business to the biological sciences to physics and engineering, professionals successfully use the powerful mathematical tool of optimal control to make management and strategy decisions. Optimal Control Applied to Biological Models thoroughly develops the mathematical aspects of optimal control theory and provides insight into the application of this theory to biological models." "Requiring only basic knowledge of multivariable calculus, simple ODEs, and mathematical models, this text shows how to adjust controls in biological systems in order to achieve proper outcomes."--Jacket.
Abstract: Develops the mathematical aspects of optimal control theory and provides insight into the application of this theory to biological models. This book examines the basic problem for continuous time ordinary differential equations (ODEs). It introduces the optimal control of discrete systems and of partial differential equations (PDEs).
