Abstract

In this chapter, we study a size-structured population model with time-dependent diffusion rate. Due to seasonal variation in the rate at which individuals move from one region to another, it is natural to consider time-varying diffusion rate. We derive important estimates on mild solution. We also study the optimal control problem with pest population in mind. Necessary optimality conditions of first order are derived with the help of adjoint system. We prove the existence and uniqueness of optimal birth control by means of Ekeland’s variational principle.
