An Introduction to Optimal Control Problems in Life Sciences and Economics: From Mathematical Models to Numerical Simulation with Matlab(r)

by Vincenzo Capasso, Sebastian Anita, Viorel Arnăutu, et al.

Book Overview

Combining two important and growing areas of applied mathematics--control theory and modeling--this textbook introduces and builds on methods for simulating and tackling concrete problems in a variety of applied sciences.

Emphasizing "learning by doing," the authors focus on examples and applications to real-world problems. An elementary presentation of advanced concepts, proofs to introduce new concepts, and carefully presented MATLAB(R)...
