Regional control in optimal harvesting of population dynamics (Q334110)

The authors study the problem of maximizing the profit for spatially structured harvesting problems with respect to both the harvesting effort and the selected subregion of the whole domain where the effort is localized. They state necessary optimality conditions and use them to get the structure of the optimal effort, and to reformulate the maximization problem into a more convenient way. Some numerical tests are given to illustrate the results for a particular optimal harvesting problem.
