On the Optimal Control of a Class of Time-Delay System

L. Boudjenah, M.F. Khelfi (2010)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

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...

Optimal control of nonlinear evolution equations

Nikolaos S. Papageorgiou, Nikolaos Yannakakis (2001)

Discussiones Mathematicae, Differential Inclusions, Control and Optimization

In this paper, first we consider parametric control systems driven by nonlinear evolution equations defined on an evolution triple of spaces. The parametres are time-varying probability measures (Young measures) defined on a compact metric space. The appropriate optimization problem is a minimax control problem, in which the system analyst minimizes the maximum cost (risk). Under general hypotheses on the data we establish the existence of optimal controls. Then we pass to nonparametric...

Optimal control problems for variational inequalities with controls in coefficients and in unilateral constraints

Igor Bock, Ján Lovíšek (1987)

Aplikace matematiky

We deal with an optimal control problem for variational inequalities, where the monotone operators as well as the convex sets of possible states depend on the control parameter. The existence theorem for the optimal control will be applied to the optimal design problems for an elasto-plastic beam and an elastic plate, where a variable thickness appears as a control variable.

Optimal design of cylindrical shell with a rigid obstacle

Ján Lovíšek (1989)

Aplikace matematiky

The aim of the present paper is to study problems of optimal design in mechanics, whose variational form are inequalities expressing the principle of virtual power in its inequality form. We consider an optimal control problem in whixh the state of the system (involving an elliptic, linear symmetric operator, the coefficients of which are chosen as the design - control variables) is defined as the (unique) solution of stationary variational inequalities. The existence result proved in Section 1...

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...

Quasi-static rate-independent evolutions: characterization, existence, approximation and application to fracture mechanics

Matteo Negri (2014)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

We characterize quasi-static rate-independent evolutions, by means of their graph parametrization, in terms of a couple of equations: the first gives stationarity while the second provides the energy balance. An abstract existence result is given for functionals ℱ of class C1 in reflexive separable Banach spaces. We provide a couple of constructive proofs of existence which share common features with the theory of minimizing movements for gradient flows. Moreover, considering a sequence of functionals...
