Abstract:

In this paper, we investigate an optimal control problem for a hierarchical system of age-dependent competing populations, with the removal intensity as the control variable. After the existence of optimal strategies has been established, we prove a new continuity result, by which the optimal policies are exactly characterized with a normal cone and an adjoint system. Furthermore, some numerical results are presented to show the effects of the price on optimal profits.

Key words: Hierarchy of age, Competing system, Optimal control, Normal cone, Pre-compactness
