On the optimal continuous decentralized control of non-linear dynamical multivariable systems about the origin.
This paper deals with the local (around the equilibrium) optimal decentralized control of autonomous multivariable systems of nonlinearities and couplings between subsystems which can be expressed as power series in the state-space are allowed in the formulation. They only affect for the optimal performance integrals in cubic and higher terms in the norm of the initial conditions of the dynamical differential system. The basic hypothesis which is made is that the system is centrally-stabilizable...
On the Optimal Control of a Class of Time-Delay System
In this work we study the optimal control problem for a class of nonlinear time-delay systems via paratingent equation with delayed argument. We use an equivalence theorem between solutions of differential inclusions with time-delay and solutions of paratingent equations with delayed argument. We study the problem of optimal control which minimizes a certain cost function. To show the existence of optimal control, we use the main topological properties...

On the optimal control of coefficients in elliptic problems. Application to the optimization of the head slider
We consider an optimal control problem for a class of non-linear elliptic equations. A result of existence and uniqueness of the state equation is proven under weaker hypotheses than in the literature. We also prove the existence of an optimal control. Applications to some lubrication problems and numerical results are given.

On the optimal control of implicit systems
In this paper we consider the well-known implicit Lagrange problem: find a trajectory solution of an underdetermined implicit differential equation, satisfying some boundary conditions and which is a minimum of the integral of a Lagrangian. In the tangent bundle of the surrounding manifold X, we define the geometric framework of q-pi- submanifold. This is an extension of the geometric framework of pi- submanifold, defined by Rabier and Rheinboldt for determined implicit differential equations,...
On the optimal control of nonresonant elliptic equations
On the optimal control problem governed by the equations of von Kármán. II. Mixed boundary conditions
A control of the system of Kármán's equations for a thin elastic plate is considered. Existence of an optimal transversal load and optimal stress function, respectively, is proven. The set of admissible functions is chosen in a way guaranteeing the unique solvability of the state problem. The differentiability of the state function with respect to the control variable, uniqueness of the optimal control and some necessary conditions of optimality are discussed.
On the optimal control problem governed by the equations of von Kármán. I. The homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions
A control of the system of nonlinear Kármán's equations for a thin elastic plate with clamped edge is considered. The transversal loading plays the role of the control variable. The set of admissible controls is chosen in a way guaranteeing the unique solvability of the state function with respect to the control variable is proved. A disscussion of uniqueness of the optimal control and some necessary conditions of optimality are presented.
On the optimal control problem governed by the equations of von Kármán. III. The case of an arbitrary large perpendicular load
We shall deal with an optimal control problem for the deffection of a thin elastic plate. We consider the perpendicular load on the plate as the control variable. In contrast to the papers [1], [2], arbitrarily large loads are edmitted. As the unicity of a solution of the state equation is not guaranteed, we consider the cost functional defined on the set of admissible controls and states, and the state equation plays the role of the constraint. The existence of an optimal couple (i.e., control...
On the optimization of initial conditions for a model parameter estimation
The design of an experiment, e.g., the setting of initial conditions, strongly influences the accuracy of the process of determining model parameters from data. The key concept relies on the analysis of the sensitivity of the measured output with respect to the model parameters. Based on this approach we optimize an experimental design factor, the initial condition for an inverse problem of a model parameter estimation. Our approach, although case independent, is illustrated at the FRAP (Fluorescence...
