On the numerical solution of axisymmetric domain optimization problems

Ivan Hlaváček, Raino Mäkinen (1991)

Applications of Mathematics

An axisymmetric second order elliptic problem with mixed boundarz conditions is considered. A part of the boundary has to be found so as to minimize one of four types of cost functionals. The numerical realization is presented in detail. The convergence of piecewise linear approximations is proved. Several numerical examples are given.

On the optimal control problem governed by the equations of von Kármán. I. The homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions

Igor Bock, Ivan Hlaváček, Ján Lovíšek (1984)

Aplikace matematiky

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

Igor Bock, Ivan Hlaváček, Ján Lovíšek (1987)

Aplikace matematiky

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 time optimal control of the wave equation, its regularization and optimality system

Karl Kunisch, Daniel Wachsmuth (2013)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

An approximation procedure for time optimal control problems for the linear wave equation is analyzed. Its asymptotic behavior is investigated and an optimality system including the maximum principle and the transversality conditions for the regularized and unregularized problems are derived.

Optimal control for 2-D nonlinear control systems

Barbara Bily (2002)

Applicationes Mathematicae

Necessary conditions for some optimal control problem for a nonlinear 2-D system are considered. These conditions can be obtained in the form of a quasimaximum principle.

Optimal control of a rotating body beam

Weijiu Liu (2002)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

In this paper we consider the problem of optimal control of the model for a rotating body beam, which describes the dynamics of motion of a beam attached perpendicularly to the center of a rigid cylinder and rotating with the cylinder. The control is applied on the cylinder via a torque to suppress the vibrations of the beam. We prove that there exists at least one optimal control and derive a necessary condition for the control. Furthermore, on the basis of iteration method, we propose numerical...

Optimal control of an ill-posed elliptic semilinear equation with an exponential non linearity

E. Casas, O. Kavian, J.-P. Puel (2010)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

We study here an optimal control problem for a semilinear elliptic equation with an exponential nonlinearity, such that we cannot expect to have a solution of the state equation for any given control. We then have to speak of pairs (control, state). After having defined a suitable functional class in which we look for solutions, we prove existence of an optimal pair for a large class of cost functions using a non standard compactness argument. Then, we derive a first order optimality system assuming...
