Description
This presentation highlights the practical implementation of mathematical tools that have been essential to our ongoing activities at the National Biodiversity Future Centre. We specifically showcase their application within a protected area situated in Southern Italy, which holds significant importance as both a site within the Natura 2000 network and a key site within the National Biodiversity Future Centre. Our primary objective is to effectively address a range of challenges, with a particular emphasis on controlling the spread of dangerous species. We demonstrate the utilization of three distinct yet complementary approaches: (i) a qualitative analysis based on dynamical systems and bifurcation theory, (ii) the implementation of Z-control, an error-based neural dynamic approach, and (iii) the application of optimal control theory. The insights and findings obtained from our previous study conducted in this protected area greatly contribute to the ongoing activities at the National Biodiversity Future Centre.
