Abstract
The Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) against insect pests and insect vectors consists of releasing males that have been previously sterilized in order to reduce or eliminate a specific wild population. We study this complex control question via model-free control, ultra-local models, and intelligent proportional controllers that have already proven their effectiveness in various fields. They permit addressing, perhaps for the first time, the essential sampling question. Computer simulations are displayed and discussed.
