Abstract

We consider semi-linear elliptic equations of the following form: \begin{equation*} \left\{ \begin{aligned} -\Delta u &= \lambda[u-\dfrac{u^2}{K}-c \dfrac{u^2}{1+u^2}-h(x) u]=:\lambda f_h(u), \quad && x \in \Omega, \frac{\partial u}{\partial \eta}&+qu = 0, \quad && x\in\partial\Omega, \end{aligned} \right. \end{equation*} where, hU={hL2(Ω):0h(x)H}.h\in U=\{h\in L^2(\Omega): 0\leq h(x)\leq H\}. We prove the existence and uniqueness of the positive solution for large λ.\lambda. Further, we establish the existence of an optimal control hUh\in U that maximizes the functional J(h)=Ωh(x)uh(x) dxΩ(B1+B2h(x))h(x) dxJ(h)=\int_{\Omega}h(x)u_h(x)~\rm{d}x-\int_{\Omega}(B_1+B_2 h(x))h(x)~\rm{d}x over UU, where uhu_h is the unique positive solution of the above problem associated with hh, B1>0B_1>0 is the cost per unit effort when the level of effort is low and B2>0B_2>0 represents the rate at which the cost rises as more labor is employed. Finally, we provide a unique optimality system.
