摘要
We consider a mathematical model for the control of the growth of tumor cells which is formulated as a problem of optimal control theory. It is concerned with chemotherapeutic treatment of cancer and aims at the minimization of the size of the tumor at the end of a certain time interval of treatment with a limited amount of drugs. The treatment is controlled by the dosis of drugs that is administered per time unit for which also a limit is prescribed. It is shown that optimal controls are of bang-bang type and can be chosen at the upper limit, if the total amount of drugs is large enough. (C) 2010 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
