Optimal Impulsive Control for Cancer Therapy

Part of the book series: SpringerBriefs in Electrical and Computer Engineering ((BRIEFSCONTROL))

  • 199 Accesses

Abstract

This chapter motivates the study of Optimal Impulsive Control (OIC) applied to cancer therapy. The OIC problem is formulated and divided in three control sub-problems that are treated in detail in Chap. 5. The model structure used, that comprises pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and tumor dynamics, is described. Relevant background literature is described.
