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 and of the Lotka-Volterra type predator-prey fish initial value problem
where is a fishing control that may or may not be fixed. The other parameters, the initial values and are fixed. We are interested in how to fish and when to measure, with an upper bound on the measuring time. We can measure the states directly, and . We use two different sampling functions, and in the same experimental setting. This can be seen either as a two-dimensional measurement function , or as a special case of a multiple experiment, in which , and are identical. The experimental design problem then reads
with , , , , and , .
Note that the state has been left out for reasons of symmetry.
Parameters
We use , , and , . The upper bound on the measurement time intervals is chosen as .
