Optimal control of bilinear systems: Time-varying effects of cancer drugs

A bilinear model is introduced to study the effects of anti-tumor drugs on the kinetics of the cell cycle. Optimal control theory is applied in the estimation of these time-varying effects based on a least squares fit of laboratory data. This methodology enables the authors to quantify the effects of a drug on each phase of the cell cycle.
