Geometric Optimal Control of the Generalized Lotka-Volterra Model with Applications Controlled Stability of Microbiota

Abstract

International audienceIn this talk we present the Generalized Lotka–Volterra dynamics associated to themodel of C-difficile infection of the intestine microbiote and aiming to transfer the systemfrom an infected state to an healthy state. The control inputs are of two types : fecalinjection or bactericides which act as Dirac pulses and prebiotics or antibiotics which act ascontinuous controls. An uniform frame can be introduced using the tools from geometriccontrol to analyze the accessibility set as the orbit of a pseudo-semi group. Optimalcontrol can be considered in the frame of permanent control or sampled-data control. Thelater being adapted to the practical constraints of a finite set of medical interventions. Inboth case the optimal control problems can be analyzed using direct and indirect schemesaiming to reach an healthy state. Such methods are tested on toys models in dimension 2and 3 related to the construction of reduced dynamics. Even those simple situations leadto interesting questions of accessibility and integrability issues in relation with the studyof dynamical systems
