Here we investigate the optimal harvesting of an age-structured population. We use the McKendrick model of population dynamics, and optimize a discounted yield on an infinite time horizon. The harvesting function is allowed to depend arbitrarily on age and time and its magnitude is unconstrained. We
we consider a simple age-structured SIR model with vaccination and separable mixing. We define costs for a vaccination strategy (number of vaccinations per time) and effect (reduction of prevalence of disease or reduction of the number of risk cases). We consider two optimization problems: to find t
## Introduction. In population theory birth and death can be modeled, to a certain extent, by linear equations, but the formation of pairs is a nonlinear phenomenon. Separation of pairs can again be described by linear equations. In particular in human demography it is a long-standing problem by w
