Abstract: (5253 Views) |
We present a stochastic optimal control approach to wildlife management. The objective value is
the present value of hunting and meat, reduced by the present value of the costs of plant damages
and traffic accidents caused by the wildlife population. First, general optimal control functions and
value functions are derived. Then, numerically specified optimal control functions and value
functions of relevance to moose management in Sweden are calculated and presented. |
