Abstract

A model of an interaction between a manufacturer and the state where the  manufacturer produces a single product and the state controls the level of pollution is  created and investigated. A local economy with a stock pollution problem that must  choose between productive and environmental investments (control functions) is  considered. The model is described by a nonlinear system of two differential equations  with two bounded controls. The best optimal strategy is found analytically with the use  of the Pontryagin Maximum Principle and Green’s Theorem.

Keywords: optimal control, nonlinear model, environmental problem.

Resumen

Se ha creado e investigado un modelo de interaccin entre un fabricante y el estado  donde el fabricante produce un solo producto y el estado controla el nivel de  contaminación. Se considera una economía local con un problema de contaminación  almacenada, que debe escoger entre inversiones en producción y medio ambiente  (funciones de control). El modelo es descrito por un sistema de dos ecuaciones  diferenciales con dos controles acotados. La mejor estrategia de control se encuentra  analíticamente usando el Principio del Máximo de Pontryagin y el Teorema de Green.

Palabras clave: control óptimo, modelo no lineal, problema ambiental.
