Title: Optimal control of Discrete Time Models
Abstract: This talk will present optimal control of two examples which are discrete in time. The first example involves difference equations that model cardiopulmonary resuscitation. The goal is to design an external chest and abdomen pressure pattern to improve the blood flow in the heart in standard CPR procedure. The second example is an epidemic model for rabies in raccoons on a spatial grid. The goal is to find the optimal distribution pattern for vaccine baits to slow the spread of the disease.
