We investigate an optimal control problem which arises in the optimization of an amplification technique for misfolded proteins. The improvement of this technique may play a role in the detection of prion diseases. The model consists in a linear system of differential equations with a nonlinear control. The appearance of oscillations in the numerical simulations is understood by using the Perron and Floquet eigenvalue theory for nonnegative irreductible matrices. Then to overcome the unsolvability of the optimal control, we relax the problem. In the two dimensional case we solve explicitely the optimal relaxed control problem when the final time is large enough.

In this article, we are interested in the analysis and simulation of solutions to an optimal control problem motivated by population dynamics issues. In order to control the spread of mosquito-borne arboviruses, the population replacement technique c
onsists in releasing into the environment mosquitoes infected with the Wolbachia bacterium, which greatly reduces the transmission of the virus to the humans. Spatial releases are then sought in such a way that the infected mosquito population invades the uninfected mosquito population. Assuming very high mosquito fecundity rates, we first introduce an asymptotic model on the proportion of infected mosquitoes and then an optimal control problem to determine the best spatial strategy to achieve these releases. We then analyze this problem, including the optimality of natural candidates and carry out first numerical simulations in one dimension of space to illustrate the relevance of our approach.
It has been proved by Zuazua in the nineties that the internally controlled semilinear 1D wave equation $partial_{tt}y-partial_{xx}y + g(y)=f 1_{omega}$, with Dirichlet boundary conditions, is exactly controllable in $H^1_0(0,1)cap L^2(0,1)$ with con
trols $fin L^2((0,1)times(0,T))$, for any $T>0$ and any nonempty open subset $omega$ of $(0,1)$, assuming that $gin mathcal{C}^1(R)$ does not grow faster than $betavert xvert ln^{2}vert xvert$ at infinity for some $beta>0$ small enough. The proof, based on the Leray-Schauder fixed point theorem, is however not constructive. In this article, we design a constructive proof and algorithm for the exact controllability of semilinear 1D wave equations. Assuming that $g^prime$ does not grow faster than $beta ln^{2}vert xvert$ at infinity for some $beta>0$ small enough and that $g^prime$ is uniformly Holder continuous on $R$ with exponent $sin[0,1]$, we design a least-squares algorithm yielding an explicit sequence converging to a controlled solution for the semilinear equation, at least with order $1+s$ after a finite number of iterations.
We consider a control system describing the interaction of water waves with a partially immersed rigid body constraint to move only in the vertical direction. The fluid is modeled by the shallow water equations. The control signal is a vertical force
acting on the floating body. We first derive the full governing equations of the fluid-body system in a water tank and reformulate them as an initial boundary value problem of a first-order evolution system. We then linearize the equations around the equilibrium state and we study its well-posedness. Finally we focus on the reachability and stabilizability of the linear system. Our main result asserts that, provided that the floating body is situated in the middle of the tank, any symmetric waves with appropriate regularity can be obtained from the equilibrium state by an appropriate control force. This implies, in particular, that we can project this system on the subspace of states with appropriate symmetry properties to obtain a reduced system which is approximately controllable and strongly stabilizable. Note that, in general, this system is not controllable (even approximately).
An efficient computational approach for optimal reconstructing parameters of binary-type physical properties for models in biomedical applications is developed and validated. The methodology includes gradient-based multiscale optimization with multil
evel control space reduction by using principal component analysis (PCA) coupled with dynamical control space upscaling. The reduced dimensional controls are used interchangeably at fine and coarse scales to accumulate the optimization progress and mitigate side effects at both scales. Flexibility is achieved through the proposed procedure for calibrating certain parameters to enhance the performance of the optimization algorithm. Reduced size of control spaces supplied with adjoint-based gradients obtained at both scales facilitate the application of this algorithm to models of higher complexity and also to a broad range of problems in biomedical sciences. This technique is shown to outperform regular gradient-based methods applied to fine scale only in terms of both qualities of binary images and computing time. Performance of the complete computational framework is tested in applications to 2D inverse problems of cancer detection by the electrical impedance tomography (EIT). The results demonstrate the efficient performance of the new method and its high potential for minimizing possibilities for false positive screening and improving the overall quality of the EIT-based procedures.
Mosquitoes are responsible for the transmission of many diseases such as dengue fever, zika or chigungunya. One way to control the spread of these diseases is to use the sterile insect technique (SIT), which consists in a massive release of sterilize
d male mosquitoes. This strategy aims at reducing the total population over time, and has the advantage being specific to the targeted species, unlike the use of pesticides. In this article, we study the optimal release strategies in order to maximize the efficiency of this technique. We consider simplified models that describe the dynamics of eggs, males, females and sterile males in order to optimize the release protocol. We determine in a precise way optimal strategies, which allows us to tackle numerically the underlying optimization problem in a very simple way. We also present some numerical simulations to illustrate our results.
