Última Optimal feedback strategies for bacterial growth with degradation, recycling, and effect of temperature 5 Yegorov, Ivan; Mairet, Francis; Gouze, Jean-luc. Mechanisms of bacterial adaptation to environmental changes are of great interest for both fundamental biology and engineering applications. In this work, we consider a continuous-time dynamic problem of resource allocation between metabolic and gene expression machineries for a self-replicating prokaryotic cell population. In compliance with evolutionary principles, the criterion is to maximize the accumulated structural biomass. In the model, we include both the degradation of proteins into amino acids and the recycling of the latter (ie, using as precursors again). On the basis of the analytical investigation of our problem by Pontryagin's maximum principle, we develop a numerical method to approximate the switching curve of the optimal feedback control...

Microorganisms have evolved complex strategies for controlling the distribution of available resources over cellular functions. Biotechnology aims at interfering with these strategies, so as to optimize the production of metabolites and other compounds of interest, by (re)engineering the underlying regulatory networks of the cell. The resulting reallocation of resources can be described by simple so-called self-replicator models and the maximization of the synthesis of a product of interest formulated as a dynamic optimal control problem. Motivated by recent experimental work, we are specifically interested in the maximization of metabolite production in cases where growth can be switched off through an external control signal. We study various optimal... Tipo: Text Palavras-chave: Optimal control; Nonlinear dynamical systems; Mathematical modelling; Bacterial growth; Biotechnology.

Given their key roles in almost all ecosystems and in several industries, understanding and predicting microorganism growth is of utmost importance. In compliance with evolutionary principles, coarse-grained or genome-scale models of microbial growth can be used to determine optimal resource allocation scheme under dynamic environmental conditions. Resource allocation approaches have given important qualitative results, but it still remains a gap towards quantitiative predictions. The first step in this direction is parameter calibration with experimental data. But fitting these models results in a bi-level optimization problem, whose numerical resolution involves complex optimization issues. As a case study, we present here a coarse-grained model...

Ano: 2020 URL: https://archimer.ifremer.fr/doc/00690/80163/83228.pdf Safe Minimum Standards in Dynamic Resource Problems -- Conditions for Living on the Edge of Risk 31 Margolis, Michael; Naevdal, Eric. Safe Minimum Standards (SMSs) have been advocated as a policy rule for environmental problems where uncertainty about risks and consequences are thought to be profound. This paper explores the rationale for such a policy within a dynamic framework and derives conditions for when SMSs can be summarily dismissed as a policy choice and for when SMSs can be defended as an optimal policy based on standard economic criteria. We have determined that these conditions can be checked with quite limited information about damages and risks. In order to analyze the SMSs in a dynamic setting, we have developed a method for solving optimal control problems where the state space is divided into risky and non-risky subsets.

Ano: 2004 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/10568 Market-Based Instruments for the Optimal Control of Invasive Insect Species: B. Tabaci in Arizona 31 Richards, Timothy J.; Ellsworth, Peter; Tronstad, Russell; Naranjo, Steve. Invasive insect species represent perhaps one of the most significant potential sources of economic risk to U.S. agricultural production. Private control of invasive insect species is likely to be insufficient due to negative externality and weaker-link public good problems. In this study, we compare a system of Pigouvian taxes with tradable permits for invasive species control. While the emissions control literature shows that taxes are preferred to permits under cost uncertainty, invasive-species control involves correlated cost and benefit uncertainty. Hence, we expect a quantity-based system to be preferred. Monte Carlo simulations of optimal steady-state outcomes confirm our expectations.

Ano: 2010 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/97852 The Economics of Commonly Owned Groundwater When User Demand Is Perfectly Inelastic 31 Wang, Chenggang; Segarra, Eduardo. This paper provides a theoretical analysis of the common-pool resource dilemma in extracting nonrenewable groundwater resources when water demand is perfectly inelastic. It complements the existing theory of groundwater use, which assumes away the possibility of demand perfect inelasticity. Under perfectly inelastic water demand, the common-pool resource dilemma is by-passed if groundwater users are equally productive in water use. If they are not, a new type of inefficiency can arise due to the lack of a rationing mechanism on the basis of productivity. Our analysis suggests that groundwater management research should pay more attention to water demand elasticity and productivity heterogeneity.

Ano: 2011 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/105533 Prevention, Eradication, and Containment of Invasive Species: Illustrations from Hawaii 31 Burnett, Kimberly M.; Kaiser, Brooks A.; Pitafi, Basharat A.K.; Roumasset, James A.. Invasive species change ecosystems and the economic services such ecosystems provide. Optimal policy will minimize the expected damages and costs of prevention and control. We seek to explain policy outcomes as a function of biological and economic factors, using the case of Hawaii to illustrate. First, we consider an existing invader, Miconia calvescens, a plant with the potential to reduce biodiversity, soil cover, and water availability. We then examine an imminent threat, the potential arrival of the Brown treesnake (Boiga irregularis). The arrival of the snake in Guam has led to native bird extirpations, power outages, and health costs.

Ano: 2006 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/10178 Managing European Corn Borer Resistance to Bt Corn with Dynamic Refuges 31 Secchi, Silvia; Hurley, Terrance M.; Hellmich, Richard L.. Genetically engineered Bt (Bacillus thuringiensis) corn provides farmers with a new tool for controlling the European corn borer (ECB). The high efficacy and potential rapid adoption of Bt corn has raised concerns that the ECB will develop resistance to Bt. The Environmental Protection Agency has responded to these concerns by requiring farmers to plant refuge corn. Current refuge requirements are based on models that do not consider the value of dynamically varying refuge in response to increased scarcity and diminished control over time or the importance of backstop technologies currently being developed. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate dynamically optimal refuge requirements with the arrival of alternative backstop technologies and to compare...

Ano: 2001 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/18626 Induced-Innovation and Invasive Species Management 31 Kim, C.S.; Schaible, Glenn D.; Lewandrowski, Jan. Public policy for managing invasive species has largely focused on preventive measures prior to detection (stage 1) and on the use of chemical/mechanical or biological control measures after the establishment and dispersion of the invasive species (stage 2). Optimal management policy depends both on the initial stock of the invasive species and on the costs associated with conventional control measures. However, little attention has focused on how an induced technology such as Bt corn and Bt cotton is developed and adopted by farmers (stage 3), or how it affects the manageability of economic and ecological damages from an invasive species. This analysis evaluates the optimal allocation of management resources between preventive and control measures for...

Ano: 2010 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/61189 Approximating optimal numerical solutions to bio-economic systems: How useful is simulation-optimization? 31 Börner, Jan; Higgins, Steven Ian; Scheiter, Simon; Kantelhardt, Jochen. For applications in agricultural economics, complex ecological systems are often oversimplified to the extent that ecologists rarely consider model results valid. Recursive optimization of complex systems represents an alternative, but requires strong assumptions regarding time preference and uncertainty. In this paper we explore the implications of merely approximating “true” optima of complex dynamic optimization problems using a technique called simulation-optimization. We develop a standard discrete renewable resource use problem and solve it numerically using both simulation-optimization and non-linear mathematical programming. We subsequently introduce non-linearity and uncertainty and graphically compare the performance of simulation-optimization...

Ano: 2009 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/51407 Dynamic Programming and Learning Models for Management of a Nonnative Species 31 Eiswerth, Mark E.; van Kooten, G. Cornelis; Lines, Jeff M.; Eagle, Alison J.. Nonnative invasive species result in sizeable economic damages and expensive control costs. Because dynamic optimization models break down if controls depend in complex ways on past controls, non-uniform or scale-dependent spatial attributes, etc., decision support systems that allow learning may be preferred. We compare three models of an invasive weed in California’s grazing lands: (1) a stochastic dynamic programming model, (2) a reinforcement-based, experience-weighted attraction (EWA) learning model, and (3) an EWA model that also includes stochastic forage growth and penalties for repeated application of environmentally harmful control techniques. Results indicate that EWA learning models may be appropriate for invasive species management.

Ano: 2005 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/37015 A Practical Algorithm for Multiple-Phase Control Systems in Agricultural and Natural Resource Economics 31 Doole, Graeme J.. Many important problems in agricultural and natural resource economics concern an intertemporal choice between alternate dynamic systems. This significance has motivated a theoretical literature generalizing the necessary conditions of Optimal Control Theory to multiple-phase problems. However, gaining detailed insight into their practical management is difficult because general numerical solution methods are not available. This paper resolves this deficiency through the development of a flexible and efficient computational algorithm based on a set of necessary conditions derived for finite-time, multiple-phase systems. Its effectiveness is demonstrated in an application to a nontrivial crop rotation problem.

Ano: 2009 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/50082 Multiregional Invasive Species Management: Theory and an Application to Florida's Exotic Plants 31 Kim, C.S.; Lee, Donna J.; Schaible, Glenn D.; Vasavada, Utpal. This research develops a multiregional optimal control model that incorporates regional allocation of a public budget for controlling invasive plants when regionally differential recreation demand functions and species control costs are present. Our equimarginal condition for optimal budget allocation equates the relative marginal economic benefits per dollar spent across regions. The model was applied to Florida Public Conservation Land regions, and results indicate that the magnitude of an annual management budget affects its distribution among species management regions, but the size of the intrinsic growth rate does not affect the pattern of budget allocation among regions.

Ano: 2007 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/37141 Permanence of Carbon Sequestered in Forests under Uncertainty 31 Kim, C.S.; Lewandrowski, Jan; Sands, Ronald D.; Johansson, Robert C.. In this paper we examine the issue of permanence in the context of sequestering carbon through afforestation. We develop a dynamic nested optimal control model of carbon sequestration associated with the decision to afforest a tract of land given there are uncertainties associated with fire and insect/disease hazards. Conceptually, these potential hazards are similar in that their occurrence at any time t is uncertain and landowners can take specific actions – although generally different actions - in any time period t to reduce the probability of sustaining losses related to them. The hazards differ, however, in that fire represents a large loss in carbon at a moment in time, while insect/disease infestations are more likely to be reflected in a period...

Ano: 2011 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/103565 Timber Supply Model 96: A Global Timber Supply Model with a Pulpwood Component 31 Sedjo, Roger A.; Lyon, Kenneth S.. This study involves an update of our earlier Timber Supply Model, which was fully developed in our book, The Adequacy Of Global Timber Supply by Sedjo and Lyon (1990), published by Resources for the Future. The new version, called Timber Supply Model 1996 (TSM96), uses an economic market supply/demand approach to project an intertemporal time path of the world's price and output level of industrial wood. As did the original TSM, the TSM96 provides projections of the time path of the equilibrium output levels of the several regions into which the world has been subdivided. A major new feature of TSM96 is that industrial wood, treated as homogeneous in the earlier study, has be subdivided into two different wood types -- pulpwood and solidwood. The supply of...

Ano: 1996 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/10696 A Dynamic Optimisation Model of Weed Control 31 Cacho, Oscar J.; Jones, Randall E.. It is argued in this paper that static approaches to weed management, where the benefits and costs are only considered within a single season, are inappropriate for assessing the economic benefits of weed control technologies. There are carryover effects from weed management as weeds that escape control in one season may reproduce and replenish weed populations in following seasons. Consequently, it is appropriate to view weed control in the context of a resource management problem where the goal is to determine the optimal inter-temporal level of weed control that maximises economic benefits over some pre-determined period of time. A dynamic optimisation model for weed control is presented. Using the tools of comparative static analysis and Pontryagin's...

Ano: 2000 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/12902 An Optimization Model for the Banana Northern Prawn Fishery 31 Valle de Souza, Simone; Gondro, Cedric; Cacho, Oscar J.. This study presents an optimal control model of the Banana Northern Prawn Fishery, one of the most important fisheries in Australia. The life cycle of this species involves migration between the sea, where the catch takes place, and the estuary, where post-larvae and juveniles develop. The model combines a stage-matrix population dynamics model and an economic model of sustainable catch. The controls involve the amount of effort allowed and the length of the fishing season. Life stages are defined in terms of prawn size, allowing catch revenue to be adjusted to the expected proportion of specific sized classes caught in a particular month of the year, hence providing a more realistic projection of profits when price is influenced by size. The model is... Tipo: Conference Paper or Presentation Palavras-chave: Fisheries management; Australia; Optimal control; Profit maximisation; Banana prawns.; Resource /Energy Economics and Policy. Ano: 2010 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/59173 COMMODITY R&D AND PROMOTION 31 Richards, Timothy J.; Padilla, Luis. Considerable evidence exists of high returns to public and private investment in commodity research and development programs. This study investigates the potential returns to product research, development, and marketing in a dynamic commodity-market model. Theoretical hypotheses derived from the solution to this model are tested in an empirical example of Washington apples. Estimation results show that, despite significant spillovers to research and promotion expenditure in this industry, there is nonetheless considerable latitude to increase annual sales.

Ano: 2002 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/15083 Cooperation, Spatial-Dynamic Externalities, and Invasive Species Management 31 Epanchin-Niell, Rebecca S.; Wilen, James E.. Most terrestrial biological invasions occur in landscapes comprising numerous, independently managed properties. Thus, control of invasion spread generally depends on the choices of many managers, each deciding the extent to control invasions on their property. Here we develop a spatially-explicit, integrated model of invasion spread and human behavior to examine how people’s control choices under laissez-faire affect patterns of invasion spread and the total costs and damages imposed by an invader. We evaluate how characteristics of the bioeconomic and social system, including the extent of cooperation among managers, affect the divergence between socially optimal and private control efforts. We find that system-wide invasion externalities generally...
