β¦ Synopsis
Analytical gradients of all constraints are constructed and the problem solved numerically. The optimal treatment is low intensity therapy followed by high intensity therapy.

Cancer chemotherapy with application of one drug is studied. The negative and inhibiting e ect of the tumor on normal cells is taken into account. Under certain assumptions, we determine the optimal regimen that minimizes the tumor burden at the end of a ΓΏxed period of therapy while maintaining the
## Abstract In this paper, the optimal drug injection problem arising in cancer treatment by cellβcycleβspecific chemotherapy is investigated. The optimal control problem is state constrained in which the stage cost reflects the concern of maximal drug injection, while the state constraint imposes
