We present a novel model of stochastic differential equations for foraging behavior of fish schools in space including obstacles. We then study the model numerically. Three configurations of space with different locations of food resource…
In inland fisheries, transporting fishery resource individuals from a habitat to spatially apart habitat(s) has recently been considered for fisheries stock management in the natural environment. However, its mathematical optimization,…
Fish migration is a mass movement that affects the hydrosphere and ecosystems. While it occurs on multiple temporal scales, including daily and intraday fluctuations, the latter remains less studied. In this study, for a stochastic…

The Liouville equation differs from the von Neumann equation 'only' by a characteristic superoperator. We demonstrate this for Hamiltonian dynamics, in general, and for the Jaynes-Cummings model, in particular. -- Employing superspace…
We present a method for optimal path planning of human walking paths in mountainous terrain, using a control theoretic formulation and a Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation. Previous models for human navigation were entirely deterministic,…

Contrasting the well explored problem on how to steer a macroscopic agent like an airplane or a moon lander to optimally reach a target, "optimal microswimming", i.e. the quest for the optimal navigation strategy for microswimmers, remains…
This paper proposes a new model for individuals movement in ecology. The movement process is defined as a solution to a stochastic differential equation whose drift is the gradient of a multimodal potential surface. This offers a new…
The dynamic formulation of optimal transport, also known as the Benamou-Brenier formulation, has been extended to the unbalanced case by introducing a source term in the continuity equation. When this source term is penalized based on the…
