The goal of this minisymposium is to bring together scientists working on problems of optimal control of ordinary differential equations. The topics to be presented can contain, but are not limited to, theoretical aspects such as optimality conditions, existence results, numerical solution methods and algorithms as well as different applications of optimal control of ODE’s in economics, biomedicine, epidemiology and so on.
