This paper addresses the nonlinear Cucker-Smale optimal control problem under the interplay of memory effect. The aforementioned effect is included by employing the Caputo fractional derivative in the equation representing the velocity of agents. Sufficient conditions for the existence of solutions to the considered problem are proved and the analysis of some particular problems is illustrated by two numerical examples.

We study the optimal control of a steady-state dead oil isotherm problem. The problem is described by a system of nonlinear partial differential equations resulting from the traditional modelling of oil engineering within the framework of mechanics of a continuous medium. Existence and regularity results of the optima control are proved, as well as necessary optimality conditions.

Both inflation and unemployment inflict social losses. When a tradeoff exists between the two, what would be the Best combination of inflation and unemployment? A well known approach in economics to address this question is writing the social loss as a function of the rate of inflation p and the rate of unemployment u, with different weights, and then, using known relations between p, u, and the expected rate of inflation π, to rewrite the social loss function as a function of π. The answer is achieved by applying the calculus of variations in order to find an optimal path π that minimizes Total social loss over a given time interval. Economists dealing with this question use a continuous or a discrete variational problem. Here we propose to use a time-scale model, unifying the results available in the literature. Moreover, the new formalism allows for obtaining new insights into the classical models when applied to real data of inflation and unemployment.

We study incommensurate fractional variational problems in terms of a generalized fractional integral with Lagrangians depending on classical derivatives and generalized fractional integrals and derivatives. We obtain necessary optimality conditions for the basic and isoperimetric problems, transversality conditions for free boundary value problems, and a generalized Noether type theorem.

The discrete-time, the quantum, and the continuous calculus of variations have been recently unified and extended. Two approaches are followed in the literature: one dealing with minimization of delta integrals; the other dealing with minimization of nabla integrals. Here we propose a more general approach to the calculus of variations on time scales that allows to obtain both delta and nabla results as particular cases.

In multiobjective (vector) optimization problems, among the given objective functions there exist some, which do not influence the set of efficient solutions. These objective functions are said to be nonessential. In this paper we present a new method to decide if a given linear objective function is nonessential or not.
