Solution of Optimal Harvesting Problem by Finite Difference Approximations of Size-Structured Population Model

We solve numerically a forest management optimization problem governed by a nonlinear partial differential equation (PDE), which is a size-structured population model. The formulated problem is supplemented with a natural constraint for a solution to be non-negative. PDE is approximated by an explic...
