Olenev, Nicholas (ed.) et al., Optimization and applications. 13th international conference, OPTIMA 2022, Petrovac, Montenegro, September 26–30, 2022. Revised selected papers. Cham: Springer. Lect. Notes Comput. Sci. 13781, 121-132 (2023).
Summary: This paper studies a classical infinite horizon optimal control problem for a shallow lake model and a variation thereof. We carry out a qualitative analysis of solutions to the canonical system and identify possible scenarios. Specifically, we describe a particular case that has not been addressed in the previous works. This case corresponds to the situation, when the canonical system has only two saddle equilibrium points without a source between them. Furthermore, the set of parameters, for which this situation occurs remains unchanged for two alternative formulations of the optimal control problem, which indicates a possibility for a hidden invariant structure. Both formulations of the optimal control problem are studied in detail, both analytically and numerically. The appearance of the Skiba point is discussed.
