Abstract
SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization, Volume 62, Issue 2, Page 1291-1315, April 2024. Abstract. Some pests and vectors of many vector-borne diseases (like mosquitoes for malaria and dengue) are known to invade any homogeneous and favorable territory, following a traveling wave type dynamic. The density of individuals in the field is commonly modeled as the solution of a bistable reaction-diffusion equation on an unbounded domain. In this work, we are interested in finding an optimal strategy to block such a solution by means of a population elimination action in a prescribed subdomain (modeling, for instance, the effect of a mechanical action or an insecticide applied in a certain region to reduce the number of individuals in the population). We propose a complete description of the solutions of this problem, based on the precise analysis of the optimality conditions and on arguments for comparison between the possible strategies.
期刊介绍:
SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization (SICON) publishes original research articles on the mathematics and applications of control theory and certain parts of optimization theory. Papers considered for publication must be significant at both the mathematical level and the level of applications or potential applications. Papers containing mostly routine mathematics or those with no discernible connection to control and systems theory or optimization will not be considered for publication. From time to time, the journal will also publish authoritative surveys of important subject areas in control theory and optimization whose level of maturity permits a clear and unified exposition.
The broad areas mentioned above are intended to encompass a wide range of mathematical techniques and scientific, engineering, economic, and industrial applications. These include stochastic and deterministic methods in control, estimation, and identification of systems; modeling and realization of complex control systems; the numerical analysis and related computational methodology of control processes and allied issues; and the development of mathematical theories and techniques that give new insights into old problems or provide the basis for further progress in control theory and optimization. Within the field of optimization, the journal focuses on the parts that are relevant to dynamic and control systems. Contributions to numerical methodology are also welcome in accordance with these aims, especially as related to large-scale problems and decomposition as well as to fundamental questions of convergence and approximation.
