Optimal Control Applied to Biological Models

Explore the fascinating intersection of mathematics and biology with Optimal Control Applied to Biological Models by Suzanne Lenhart. Published by Taylor & Francis Inc in 2007, this insightful hardback textbook spans 274 pages and delves into the mathematical foundations of optimal control theory.

Lenhart expertly illustrates how this theory can be applied to biological models, focusing on continuous time ordinary differential equations (ODEs). The book also introduces readers to the optimal control of discrete systems and partial differential equations (PDEs), making it an essential resource for students and professionals in the fields of life sciences and applied mathematics.

Whether you are a researcher, educator, or student, Optimal Control Applied to Biological Models provides a comprehensive understanding of mathematical optimization in biological contexts, equipping you with the knowledge to navigate complex biological systems through the lens of control theory.
