Optimal control for distributed systems subject to null-controllability. Application to discriminating sentinels

Ousseynou Nakoulima (2007)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

We consider a distributed system in which the state q is governed by a parabolic equation and a pair of controls v = (h,k) where h and k play two different roles: the control k is of controllability type while h expresses that the state q does not move too far from a given state. Therefore, it is natural to introduce the control point of view. In fact, there are several ways to state and solve optimal control problems with a pair of controls h and k, in particular the Least Squares method...

Optimal control from inoculation on a continuous microalgae culture

Jorge Antonio Torres-Muñoz, Irandi Gutierrez-Carmona, Alma Rosa Dominguez-Bocanegra (2016)

Kybernetika

The present work is centred on the problem of biomass productivity optimization of a culture of microalgae Spirulina maxima. The mathematical tools consisted of necessary and sufficient conditions for optimal control coming from the celebrated Pontryagin's Maximum Principle (PMP) as well as the Bellman's Principle of Optimality, respectively. It is shown that the optimal dilution rate turns to be a bang-singular-bang control. It turns out that, the experimental results are in accordance to the optimal...

Optimal control of a stochastic heat equation with boundary-noise and boundary-control

Arnaud Debussche, Marco Fuhrman, Gianmario Tessitore (2007)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

We are concerned with the optimal control of a nonlinear stochastic heat equation on a bounded real interval with Neumann boundary conditions. The specificity here is that both the control and the noise act on the boundary. We start by reformulating the state equation as an infinite dimensional stochastic evolution equation. The first main result of the paper is the proof of existence and uniqueness of a mild solution for the corresponding Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equation. The C1 regularity...

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 delay systems with differential and algebraic dynamic constraints

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 ∞-dimensional stochastic systems via generalized solutions of HJB equations

N.U. Ahmed (2001)

Discussiones Mathematicae, Differential Inclusions, Control and Optimization

In this paper, we consider optimal feedback control for stochastc infinite dimensional systems. We present some new results on the solution of associated HJB equations in infinite dimensional Hilbert spaces. In the process, we have also developed some new mathematical tools involving distributions on Hilbert spaces which may have many other interesting applications in other fields. We conclude with an application to optimal stationary feedback control.

Optimal control of impulsive stochastic evolution inclusions

N.U. Ahmed (2002)

Discussiones Mathematicae, Differential Inclusions, Control and Optimization

In this paper, we consider a class of infinite dimensional stochastic impulsive evolution inclusions driven by vector measures. We use stochastic vector measures as controls adapted to an increasing family of complete sigma algebras and prove the existence of optimal controls.

Optimal control of linear stochastic evolution equations in Hilbert spaces and uniform observability

Viorica Mariela Ungureanu (2009)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

In this paper we study the existence of the optimal (minimizing) control for a tracking problem, as well as a quadratic cost problem subject to linear stochastic evolution equations with unbounded coefficients in the drift. The backward differential Riccati equation (BDRE) associated with these problems (see [chen], for finite dimensional stochastic equations or [UC], for infinite dimensional equations with bounded coefficients) is in general different from the conventional BDRE (see [1990], [ukl])....
