The model is detailed in a new paper by Suzanne Lenhart, Chancellor's Professor and James R. Cox Professor of Mathematics, published in Mathematics.
"Invasives pose a serious threat to native habitats and species, especially in aquatic environments," said Lenhart. "Using optimal control techniques in a model with realistic hydrology features, we illustrated how to adjust the flow rate in a river to keep an invasive species from moving upstream."
