AWM at SIAM 2010
Monday, July 12, 2010, 2:45 pm – 3:30 pm, Room; Spirit of Pittsburgh
The AWM-SIAM Sonia Kovalevsky Lecture: Mixing It Up: Discrete and Continuous Optimal Control for Biological Models
Suzanne M. Lenhart, University of Tennessee, Knoxville, USA and National Institute for Mathematical and Biological Synthesis, USA
Introduction: Deborah Lockhart, National Science Foundation, USA
This presentation will illustrate optimal control methods applied to several types of models, including a mixture of discrete and continuous features. The applications range from a discrete model for cardiopulmonary resuscitation to partial differential equation models for rabies in raccoons. Detailed results will be given for harvesting in a PDE fishery model that answer the question: Does a marine reserve occur when maximizing harvest yield?
