Nash equilibrium for a multiobjective control problem related to wastewater management
ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations, Tome 15 (2009) no. 1, pp. 117-138.

This paper is concerned with mathematical modelling in the management of a wastewater treatment system. The problem is formulated as looking for a Nash equilibrium of a multiobjective pointwise control problem of a parabolic equation. Existence of solution is proved and a first order optimality system is obtained. Moreover, a numerical method to solve this system is detailed and numerical results are shown in a realistic situation posed in the estuary of Vigo (Spain).
