This study examines the spatial nature of optimal bioinvasion control. We develop a spatially explicit two-dimensional model of species spread that allows for differential control across space and time, and we solve for optimal spatial-dynamic control strategies. We find that the optimal...

This study examines the spatial nature of optimal bioinvasion control. We develop and parameterize a spatially explicit two-dimensional model of species spread that allows for differential control across space and time, and we solve for optimal control strategies. We find that the qualitative...

Identifying the optimal switching point between different invasive alien species (IAS) management policies is a very complex task and policy makers are in need of modelling tools to assist them. In this paper we develop an optimal control bioeconomic model to estimate the type of optimal policy...

Government agencies lack robust modelling tools to manage the spread of invasive alien species (IAS). In this paper, we combine optimal control and simulation methods with biological invasion spread theory to estimate the type of optimal policy and switching point of control efforts against a...

We investigate activator–inhibitor systems in two spatial dimensions with a non-local coupling, for which the interaction strength decreases with the lattice distance as a power-law. By varying a single parameter we can pass from a local (Laplacian) to a global (all-to-all) coupling type. We...

In this paper, we study the dynamics of a bioeconomic plankton model with delay and diffusion terms, in which phytoplankton is assumed to undergo exploitation. Some sufficient conditions ensuring the stability and bifurcation for the model are provided by using stability and bifurcation theory....
