IntroductionLife Sciences (i.e., medical and biological sciences) might be seen as the connections between medicine, biology, mathematics, physics, and computer sciences.

Furthermore, optimal control might be defined as the extension of static optimization, or even as some comments, the new face of Variational Calculus.

A straightforward definition of life sciences is no longer simple, since it is an inter- and multi- disciplinar field.

It might be said that in the past, this scientific domain comprised of a set of united field such as medicine and biology that rarely interfered with each other (in fact, the name seems to be originated in the last decades); nonetheless, in the present it is a “unique” branch comprised of researches from a variety of field such as mathematics, medicine, and biology. The inclusion of mathematics and other fields such as computer science (and information sciences) came as a “rebirth” of the field.

Physical System modeling. A) the dichotomy ‘measure-analysis’; b) the dilemma of controlled and noisy state variables

Basically, one have a system, then we created a model for this system. The system generates data for our model, and our model generate possible analytical analysis for our physical system Figure a.

Furthermore, Figure b, in most of the cases when we model a system, we apply a stimulus, an input, that supposes to trigger dormant properties of our system under question.

Optimal control applied to cancer therapy (two drugs, intermitent infusion)

You may need to make intermitent infusions, repeated infusions in a period of time.
