Abstract:

This article is concerned with an optimal control problem for a hierarchical size-dependent population model with delay, the control function is the initial distribution. It is expected that the difference between the terminal state and the given target can be minimized in a least costs. The uniform continuity of states in controls is established by the method of characteristic lines and priori estimates, the minimal principle is derived by the construction of a normal cone and an adjoint system, and the existence of unique optimal strategy is proved by means of the Ekeland variational theorem and fixed-point approach. These results pave the way to applications.

Key words: Hierarchy of size, Integro-partial differential equations, Optimal control, Normal cones, Variational principle
