Let x(t) represent the number of tumor cells at time t (with exponential grow factor a > 0), and u(t) the drug concentration. We wish to simultaneously minimize the number of tumor cells at the end of the treatment period and the accumulated harmful effects of the drug on the body and the length of the treatment period. So the problem is min (T)+(t)² dt subject to (t) = ax(t) u(t), r(0) = 7.

GIVE AS MUCH DETAIL AS YOU CAN

Let x(t) represent the number of tumor cells at time t (with exponential grow factor a > 0), and u(t)
the drug concentration. We wish to simultaneously minimize the number of tumor cells at the end of
the treatment period and the accumulated harmful effects of the drug on the body and the length of
the treatment period. So the problem is
min (T)+(t)²
dt
subject to (t)
=
ax(t) u(t), r(0) = 7.
