Abstract: Motivated by the control of invasive biological populations, we consider a class of optimization problems for moving sets $tmapstoOmega(t)subsetmathbb{R}^2$. Given an initial set $Omeg{a}_0$, the goal is to minimize the area of the contaminated set $Omega(t)$ over time, plus a cost related to the control effort. Here the control function is the inward normal speed along the boundary $partialOmega(t)$. We prove the existence of optimal solutions, within a class of sets with finite perimeter. Necessary conditions for optimality are then derived, in the form of a Pontryagin maximum principle. Additional optimality conditions show that the sets $Omega(t)$ cannot have certain types of outward or inward corners. Finally, some explicit solutions are presented.
