Chaos, estimation and optimal control of habitat destruction model with uncertain parameters

Abstract: The present paper discusses chaos, estimation and optimal control of the habitat destruction model with unknown parameters. The linear stability analysis of the steady states of the model will be discussed. Further, the chaotic behavior of this system will be investigated. The dynamic estimators of the unknown parameters and their updating rules are derived. Using Pontryagin principle, the optimal control inputs are derived with respect to a selected measure. Finally, a numerical simulation study for various parameters and different initial densities is presented. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
