Optimal control theory is applied to the problem of controlling pests by biological and chemical means simultaneously. The net birth rate of the pests is controlled chemically while at the same time predators are allowed to operate. Several numerical examples are included.
Optimal control systems are based on a performance measure to be optimised and a model description of the dynamic process to be controlled. When on-line implementation is considered, the performance of optimally controlled processes will depend on the accuracy of the model description used. Sensitiv
