The Lotka Experimental Design problem looks for an optimal fishing strategy to be performed on a fixed time horizon to control the biomasses of both predator as prey fish as described in Lotka Volterra fishing problem. The goal here, however, is to minimize the uncertainty of a follow-up parameter estimation problem. In addition to the fishing decision the question when measurements of the two state variables are performed becomes a degree of freedom.

The mathematical equations form a small-scale ODE model. The ODE from Lotka Volterra fishing problem is extended such that it also includes state sensitivities, the Fisher information matrix entries and integrated sampling states.

The optimal integer control functions shows bang bang behavior.

Mathematical formulation

We are interested in estimating the parameters p_2 and p_4 of the Lotka-Volterra type predator-prey fish initial value problem

\begin{array}{rcl} \dot{x_1}(t) &=& p_1 \; x_1(t) - p_2 x_1(t) x_2(t) - p_5 u(t) x_1(t), \; t \in [0,t_f], \quad x_1(0) = 0.5, \\ \dot{x_2}(t) &=& - p_3 \; x_2(t) + p_4 x_1(t) x_2(t) - p_6 u(t) x_2(t), \; t \in [0,t_f], \quad x_2(0) = 0.7, \end{array}

where u(\cdot) is a fishing control that may or may not be fixed. The other parameters, the initial values and t_f = 12 are fixed. We are interested in how to fish and when to measure, with an upper bound M on the measuring time. We can measure the states directly, h^1(x(t)) = x_1(t) and h^2(x(t)) = x_2(t). We use two different sampling functions, w^1(\cdot) and w^2(\cdot) in the same experimental setting. This can be seen either as a two-dimensional measurement function h(x(t)), or as a special case of a multiple experiment, in which u(\cdot), x(\cdot), and G(\cdot) are identical. The experimental design problem then reads

\begin{array}{lll} \displaystyle \min_{x,G,F,z^1,z^2,u,w^1,w^2} && \text{trace} \; \left( F^{-1}(t_f) \right) \\ \text{subject to} \\ \quad \dot{x_1}(t) & = & p_1 \; x_1(t) - p_2 x_1(t) x_2(t) - p_5 u(t) x_1(t),\\ \quad \dot{x_2}(t) & = & - p_3 \; x_2(t) + p_4 x_1(t) x_2(t) - p_6 u(t) x_2(t),\\ \quad \dot{G_{11}}(t) & = & f_{x11}(\cdot) \; G_{11}(t) + f_{x12}(\cdot) \; G_{21}(t) + f_{p12}(\cdot), \\ \quad \dot{G_{12}}(t) & = & f_{x11}(\cdot) \; G_{12}(t) + f_{x12}(\cdot) \; G_{22}(t), \\ \quad \dot{G_{21}}(t) & = & f_{x21}(\cdot) \; G_{11}(t) + f_{x22}(\cdot) \; G_{21}(t), \\ \quad \dot{G_{22}}(t) & = & f_{x21}(\cdot) \; G_{12}(t) + f_{x22}(\cdot) \; G_{22}(t) + f_{p24}(\cdot), \\ \quad \dot{F_{11}}(t) & = & w^1(t) G_{11}(t)^2 + w^2(t) G_{21}(t)^2, \\ \quad \dot{F_{12}}(t) & = & w^1(t) G_{11}(t) G_{12}(t) + w^2(t) G_{21}(t) G_{22}(t), \\ \quad \dot{F_{22}}(t) & = & w^1(t) G_{12}(t)^2 + w^2(t) G_{22}(t)^2, \\ \quad \dot{z^1}(t) & = & w^1(t), \\ \quad \dot{z^2}(t) & = & w^2(t), \\[1.5ex] \quad x(0) &=& (0.5, 0.7), \\ \quad G(0) &=& F(0) = 0, \\ \quad z^1(0) &=& z^2(0) = 0, \\ [1.5ex] \quad u(t) & \in & \mathcal{U}, \; w^1(t) \in \mathcal{W}, \; w^2(t) \in \mathcal{W}, \\ \quad 0 & \le & M - z(t_f) \end{array}

with f_{x11}(\cdot) = \partial f_1(\cdot) / \partial x_1 = p_1 - p_2 x_2(t) - p_5 u(t), f_{x12}(\cdot) = - p_2 x_1(t), f_{x21}(\cdot) = p_4 x_2(t), f_{x22}(\cdot) = -p_3 + p_4 x_1(t) - p_6 u(t), and f_{p12}(\cdot) = \partial f_1(\cdot) / \partial p_2 = -x_1(t) x_2(t), f_{p24}(\cdot) = \partial f_2(\cdot) / \partial p_4 = x_1(t) x_2(t).

Note that the state F_{21}(\cdot) = F_{12}(\cdot) has been left out for reasons of symmetry.

Parameters

We use t_f=12, p_1 = p_2 = p_3 = p_4 = 1, and p_5 = 0.4, p_6 = 0.2. The upper bound on the measurement time intervals is chosen as M=4.
