Optimal birth control for an age-dependent n-dimensional food chain model

[摘要] In this paper, we investigate optimal policies for an age-dependent n-dimensional food chain model, which is controlled by fertility. By using Dubovitskii-Milyutin's general theory, the maximum principles are obtained for problems with free terminal states, infinite horizon and target sets, respectively. (C) 2003 Elsevier Inc.
