Control theory applications for Mathematical Biology Models
Often in life, we come across questions or problems when we want to change an outcome based on applying some version of control. In mathematics, we have a variety of techniques that allow us to formulate and study such an outcome. Specifically, when working in mathematical biology, we build models for a biological system and want to understand the implications of management options and how to optimize the implementation. During this presentation, we will explore different biological models and consider the control strategies we can implement to affect change.
