Abstract
Our aim in this paper is to study an optimal control problem for a tumor growth model. The state system couples an Allen-Cahn equation and a reaction diffusion equation that models the evolution of tumor in the presence of nutrient supply. Elimination of cancer cells via cytotoxic drug is considered and the concentration of the cytotoxic drug is represented as a control variable.
