Optimal Control for Mathematical Models of Cancer Therapies: An Application of Geometric Methods

by Heinz Schattler, Urszula Ledzewicz, Heinz Schättler

Book Overview

This book presents applications of geometric optimal control to real life biomedical problems with an emphasis on cancer treatments. A number of mathematical models for both classical and novel cancer treatments are presented as optimal control problems with the goal of constructing optimal protocols. The power of geometric methods is illustrated with fully worked out complete global solutions to these mathematically challenging problems. Elaborate...
