On lower Lipschitz continuity of minimal points

Ewa M. Bednarczuk (2000)

Discussiones Mathematicae, Differential Inclusions, Control and Optimization

In this paper we investigate the lower Lipschitz continuity of minimal points of an arbitrary set A depending upon a parameter u . Our results are formulated with the help of the modulus of minimality. The crucial requirement which allows us to derive sufficient conditions for lower Lipschitz continuity of minimal points is that the modulus of minimality is at least linear. The obtained results can be directly applied to stability analysis of vector optimization problems.

Optimal Control of Semilinear Parabolic Equations with State-Constraints of Bottleneck Type

Maïtine Bergounioux, Fredi Tröltzsch (2010)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

We consider optimal distributed and boundary control problems for semilinear parabolic equations, where pointwise constraints on the control and pointwise mixed control-state constraints of bottleneck type are given. Our main result states the existence of regular Lagrange multipliers for the state-constraints. Under natural assumptions, we are able to show the existence of bounded and measurable Lagrange multipliers. The method is based on results from the theory of continuous linear programming...

Optimal control problems on parallelizable riemannian manifolds : theory and applications

Ram V. Iyer, Raymond Holsapple, David Doman (2006)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

The motivation for this work is the real-time solution of a standard optimal control problem arising in robotics and aerospace applications. For example, the trajectory planning problem for air vehicles is naturally cast as an optimal control problem on the tangent bundle of the Lie Group S E ( 3 ) , which is also a parallelizable riemannian manifold. For an optimal control problem on the tangent bundle of such a manifold, we use frame co-ordinates and obtain first-order necessary conditions employing calculus...

Optimal control problems on parallelizable Riemannian manifolds: theory and applications

Ram V. Iyer, Raymond Holsapple, David Doman (2005)

The motivation for this work is the real-time solution of a standard optimal control problem arising in robotics and aerospace applications. For example, the trajectory planning problem for air vehicles is naturally cast as an optimal control problem on the tangent bundle of the Lie Group SE(3), which is also a parallelizable Riemannian manifold. For an optimal control problem on the tangent bundle of such a manifold, we use frame co-ordinates and obtain first-order necessary conditions...

Optimization of the shape of axisymmetric shells

Ivan Hlaváček (1983)

Aplikace matematiky

Axisymmetric thin elastic shells of constant thickness are considered and the meridian curves of their middle surfaces taken for the design variable. Admissible functions are smooth curves of a given length, which are uniformly bounded together with their first and second derivatives, and such that the shell contains a given volume. The loading consists of the hydrostatic pressure of a liquid, the shell's own weight and the internal or external pressure. As the cost functional, the integral of the...

Optimization problems with convex epigraphs. Application to optimal control

Arkadii Kryazhimskii (2001)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

For a class of infinite-dimensional minimization problems with nonlinear equality constraints, an iterative algorithm for finding global solutions is suggested. A key assumption is the convexity of the ''epigraph'', a set in the product of the image spaces of the constraint and objective functions. A convexification method involving randomization is used. The algorithm is based on the extremal shift control principle due to N.N. Krasovskii. An application to a problem of optimal control for a bilinear...
