A Formulation of Crop Production System by Optimal Control Theory

Abstract

In the previous paper, it was pointed out that crop production, which controls distributed structure of plant community, should be able to regard as modal control problems of distributed parameter systems from the standpoint of ecological control problems, and thus plant community, supposed as control object, are able to be described as the community control equation.
Assuming that crop is produced according to the performance index, elementary purpose of which is maximization of productive efficiency, this paper describes that crop production will be able to be formulated by optimal control theory as shown by equation (23) to equation (35) based on the community control equation.
