Description
Summary:This paper investigates the maximum principle for a nonlinear size-structured model that describes the optimal management of the fish resources taking into account harvesting the fish and putting the fry. We establish the well-posedness of the state system by Banach fixed-point theorem. Necessary conditions for optimality are established via the normal cone technique and adjoint system. The existence of a unique optimal policy is proved via Ekeland's variational principle and fixed-point reasoning. Finally, some examples and numerical results demonstrate the effectiveness of the theoretical results in our paper.
