This paper presents a dynamic model of smoking with optimal control. The mathematical model is divided into 5 sub-classes, namely, non-smokers, occasional smokers, active smokers, individuals who have temporarily stopped smoking, and individuals who have stopped smoking permanently. Four optimal controls, i.e., anti-smoking education campaign, anti-smoking gum, anti-nicotine drug, and government prohibition of smoking in public spaces are considered in the model. The existence of the controls is also presented. The Pontryagin maximum principle (PMP) was used to solve the optimal control problem. The fourth-order Runge-Kutta was employed to gain the numerical solutions.

The article presents a method for designing the trajectory of the UAV in space, taking into account the restriction on control. The chosen optimal controls are namely normal overload with restrictions, tangential overload with restrictions, and lateral overload. The Pontryagin maximum principle allows the transition of the optimal control problem to a boundary value problem. The parameter continuation method is applied to solve the boundary problem. The article results reveal reference trajectories in different cases of UAV landing. This result allows the design of reference trajectories for the UAV to attain the highest landing efficiency.

This paper deals with the optimal control problem in the giving up smoking model of fractional order. For the eradication of smoking in a community, we introduce three control variables in the form of education campaign, anti-smoking gum, and anti-nicotive drugs/medicine in the proposed fractional order model. We discuss the necessary conditions for the optimality of a general fractional optimal control problem whose fractional derivative is described in the Caputo sense. In order to do this, we minimize the number of potential and occasional smokers and maximize the number of ex-smokers. We use Pontryagin’s maximum principle to characterize the optimal levels of the three controls. The resulting optimality system is solved numerically by MATLAB.

We consider the regularization of the classical optimality conditions (COCs) — the Lagrange principle and the Pontryagin maximum principle — in a convex optimal control problem with functional constraints of equality and inequality type. The system to be controlled is given by a general linear functional-operator equation of the second kind in the space $L^m_2$, the main operator of the right-hand side of the equation is assumed to be quasinilpotent. The objective functional of the problem is strongly convex. Obtaining regularized COCs in iterative form is based on the use of the iterative dual regularization method. The main purpose of the regularized Lagrange principle and the Pontryagin maximum principle obtained in the work in iterative form is stable generation of minimizing approximate solutions in the sense of J. Warga. Regularized COCs in iterative form are formulated as existence theorems in the original problem of minimizing approximate solutions. They “overcome” the ill-posedness properties of the COCs and are regularizing algorithms for solving optimization problems. As an illustrative example, we consider an optimal control problem associated with a hyperbolic system of first-order differential equations.

The paper focuses on the properties of symmetric control systems, whose distinctive feature is that the solution of the optimal control problem for an object, the mathematical model of which belongs to the class of symmetric control systems, leads to the solution of two problems. The first optimal control problem is the initial one; the result of its solution is a function that ensures the optimal movement of the object from the initial state to the terminal one. In the second problem, the terminal state is the initial state, and the initial state is the terminal state. The complexity of the problem being solved is due to the increase in dimension when the models of all objects of the group are included in the mathematical model of the object, as well as the emerging dynamic phase constraints. The presence of phase constraints in some cases leads to the target functional having several local extrema. A theorem is proved that under certain conditions the functional is not unimodal when controlling a group of objects belonging to the class of symmetric systems. A numerical example of solving the optimal control problem with phase constraints by the Adam gradient method and the evolutionary particle swarm method is given. In the example, a group of two symmetrical objects is used as a control object

An optimal control problem for an abstract mathematical model for cancer chemotherapy is considered. The dynamics is for a single drug and includes pharmacodynamic (PD) and pharmacokinetic (PK) models. The aim is to point out qualitative changes in the structures of optimal controls that occur as these pharmacometric models are varied. This concerns (i) changes in the PD-model for the effectiveness of the drug (e.g., between a linear log-kill term and a non-linear Michaelis-Menten type Emax-model) and (ii) the question how the incorporation of a mathematical model for the pharmacokinetics of the drug effects optimal controls. The general results will be illustrated and discussed in the framework of a mathematical model for anti-angiogenic therapy.

In this paper, we study a modelization of the evolution of cereal output production, controlled by adding fertilizers and in presence of locusts, then by adding insecticides. The aim is to maximize the cereal output and meanwhile minimize pollution caused by adding fertilizers and insecticides.The optimal control problem obtained is solved theoretically by using the Pontryagin Maximum Principle, and then numerically with shooting method.

In this paper, we propose a meshless method for solving the mathematical model concerning the leakage problem when the pressure is tested in the gas pipeline. The method of radial basis function (RBF) can be used for solving partial differential equation by writing the solution in the form of linear combination of radius basis functions, that is, when integrating the definite conditions, one can find the combination coefficients and then the numerical solution. The leak problem is a kind of inverse problem that is focused by many engineers or mathematical researchers. The strength of the leak can find easily by the additional conditions and the numerical solutions.
