An exponential turnpike property for a semilinear control problem is proved. The state-target is assumed to be small, whereas the initial datum can be arbitrary. Turnpike results are also obtained for large targets, requiring that the…
In this paper, we deal with the null controllability of a population dynamics model with an interior degenerate diffusion. To this end, we proved first a new Carleman estimate for the full adjoint system and afterwards we deduce a suitable…
We deal with a degenerate model in divergence form describing the dynamics of a population depending on time, on age and on space. We assume that the degeneracy occurs in the interior of the spatial domain and we focus on null…
The turnpike principle is a fundamental concept in optimal control theory, stating that for a wide class of long-horizon optimal control problems, the optimal trajectory spends most of its time near a steady-state solution (the…

We study the turnpike phenomenon for optimal control problems with mean field dynamics that are obtained as the limit $N\rightarrow \infty$ of systems governed by a large number $N$ of ordinary differential equations. We show that the…
The turnpike property refers to the phenomenon that in many optimal control problems, the solutions for different initial conditions and varying horizons approach a neighborhood of a specific steady state, then stay in this neighborhood for…
We consider age-structured models with an imposed refractory period between births. These models can be used to formulate alternative population control strategies to China's one-child policy. By allowing any number of births, but with an…

We introduce a population-age-time (PAT) model which describes the temporal evolution of the population distribution in age. The surprising result is that the qualitative nature of the population distribution dynamics is robust with respect…
