Abstract
Two neurological models of information warfare are considered. For each of them, the optimal control problem is considered, assuming that the Campaign Planner is associated with the governing body of one of the belligerent parties and distributes the volume of propaganda broadcasting in time.The cost functional reflects the Planner’s desire to maximize the number of their supporters at a given time while minimizing costs during the campaign.The problem is studied analytically, using the Pontryagin’s maximum principle.Optimal control is obtained for various combinations of parameters.The “increasing” type of campaign is aimed at ensuring that for most individuals information is received immediately before the finish line, and that the impression of this information does not have time to weaken. In contrast, the strategy of a “decreasing” campaign implies a high role of interpersonal communication: it is based on convincing a significant number of individuals of their position at the very beginning, who will then retell it to their interlocutors.
