Abstract

We introduce a class of set evolution equations that can be used to describe population's movements as well as various instances of individual-population interactions. Optimal control/management problems can be formalized and tackled in this framework. A rigorous analytical structure is established and the basic well posedness results are obtained. Several examples show possible applications and their numerical integrations display possible qualitative behaviors of solutions.
