An inverse problem of a functional parameter determination is considered for a hybrid system of population dynamics. Dynamics of several interacting populations is described by a system of first-order linear hyperbolic equations. The boundary conditions for this system are determined from the initial problem for ordinary differential equations. The problem is interpreted as an optimal control problem. A non-classic optimality condition of variational maximum principle type is proved. The original problem in distributed parameter systems is reduced to the optimal control problem for ordinary differential equations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
