This model includes two biological reactions, one being aerobic while the other is anoxic. The objective is to find an optimal oxygen-injecting strategy to reach, in minimal time and in a minimal time/energy compromise, a target where the pollutants concentrations must fulfill normative constraints. Using a geometrical approach, we solve a more general optimal control problem and thanks to Pontryagin’s Maximum Principle, we explicitly give the complete optimal strategy.</p&gt;}, number={2}, journal={Statistics, Optimization & Information Computing}, author={Abdellatif, Nahla and Bouhafs, Walid and Harmand, Jérôme and Jean, Frédéric}, year={2020}, month={Sep.}, pages={368-382} }
