Abstract:
This paper is concerned with the exact null controllability of an age-dependent life cycle dynamics with nonlocal transition processes arising as boundary conditions. We investigate the controllability for the pest by acting on eggs in a small age interval. The main method is based on the derivation of estimations for the adjoint variables related to an optimal control problem. A fixed point theorem is then used to draw conclusions.
