Optimal control of delay systems with differential and algebraic dynamic constraints

Boris S. Mordukhovich, Lianwen Wang (2005)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

This paper concerns constrained dynamic optimization problems governed by delay control systems whose dynamic constraints are described by both delay-differential inclusions and linear algebraic equations. This is a new class of optimal control systems that, on one hand, may be treated as a specific type of variational problems for neutral functional-differential inclusions while, on the other hand, is related to a special class of differential-algebraic systems with a general delay-differential...

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...

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...

Optimal decentralized control design with disturbance decoupling

Petros G. Voulgaris (2002)

Kybernetika

In this paper we present an input-output point of view for the problem of closed loop norm minimization of stable plants when a decentralized structure and a disturbance decoupling property are imposed on the controller. We show that this problem is convex and present approaches to its solution in the optimal 1 sense in the nontrivial case which is when the block off- diagonal terms of the plant have more columns than rows.
