Optimal control problem for the generalized bioconvective flow

In this work, we consider an optimal control problem for the generalized bioconvective flow, which is a well known model to describe the convection caused by the concentration of upward swimming microorganisms in a fluid. Firstly, we study the existence and uniqueness of weak solutions for this model, moreover we prove the existence of the optimal control and we establish the minimum principle by using Dubovitskii-Milyutin's formalism.
