Approximate controllability of infinite dimensional systems of the n-th order

Jerzy Stefan Respondek (2008)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

The objective of the article is to obtain general conditions for several types of controllability at once for an abstract differential equation of arbitrary order, instead of conditions for a fixed order equation. This innovative approach was possible owing to analyzing the n-th order linear system in the Frobenius form which generates a Jordan transition matrix of the Vandermonde form. We extensively used the fact that the knowledge of the inverse of a Jordan transition matrix enables us to directly...

Approximate controllability of linear parabolic equations in perforated domains

Patrizia Donato, Aïssam Nabil (2001)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

In this paper we consider an approximate controllability problem for linear parabolic equations with rapidly oscillating coefficients in a periodically perforated domain. The holes are ε -periodic and of size ε . We show that, as ε 0 , the approximate control and the corresponding solution converge respectively to the approximate control and to the solution of the homogenized problem. In the limit problem, the approximation of the final state is alterated by a constant which depends on the proportion...

Approximate Controllability of linear parabolic equations in perforated domains

Patrizia Donato, Aïssam Nabil (2010)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

In this paper we consider an approximate controllability problem for linear parabolic equations with rapidly oscillating coefficients in a periodically perforated domain. The holes are ε-periodic and of size ε. We show that, as ε → 0, the approximate control and the corresponding solution converge respectively to the approximate control and to the solution of the homogenized problem. In the limit problem, the approximation of the final state is alterated by a constant which depends on the proportion...

Approximate maximum principle for discrete approximations of optimal control systems with nonsmooth objectives and endpoint constraints

Boris S. Mordukhovich, Ilya Shvartsman (2013)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

The paper studies discrete/finite-difference approximations of optimal control problems governed by continuous-time dynamical systems with endpoint constraints. Finite-difference systems, considered as parametric control problems with the decreasing step of discretization, occupy an intermediate position between continuous-time and discrete-time (with fixed steps) control processes and play a significant role in both qualitative and numerical aspects of optimal control. In this paper we derive an...

Approximation and estimation in Markov control processes under a discounted criterion

J. Adolfo Minjárez-Sosa (2004)

Kybernetika

We consider a class of discrete-time Markov control processes with Borel state and action spaces, and k -valued i.i.d. disturbances with unknown density ρ . Supposing possibly unbounded costs, we combine suitable density estimation methods of ρ with approximation procedures of the optimal cost function, to show the existence of a sequence { f ^ t } of minimizers converging to an optimal stationary policy f .

Approximation, estimation and control of stochastic systems under a randomized discounted cost criterion

Juan González-Hernández, Raquiel R. López-Martínez, J. Adolfo Minjárez-Sosa (2009)

Kybernetika

The paper deals with a class of discrete-time stochastic control processes under a discounted optimality criterion with random discount rate, and possibly unbounded costs. The state process x t and the discount process α t evolve according to the coupled difference equations x t + 1 = F ( x t , α t , a t , ξ t ) , α ...

Approximation of a linear dynamic process model using the frequency approach and a non-quadratic measure of the model error

Krzysztof B. Janiszowski (2014)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

The paper presents a novel approach to approximation of a linear transfer function model, based on dynamic properties represented by a frequency response, e.g., determined as a result of discrete-time identification. The approximation is derived for minimization of a non-quadratic performance index. This index can be determined as an exponent or absolute norm of an error. Two algorithms for determination of the approximation coefficients are considered, a batch processing one and a recursive scheme,...

Approximation of control laws with distributed delays: a necessary condition for stability

Sabine Mondié, Michel Dambrine, Omar Santos (2002)

Kybernetika

The implementation of control laws with distributed delays that assign the spectrum of unstable linear multivariable systems with delay in the input requires an approximation of the integral. A necessary condition for stability of the closed-loop system is shown to be the stability of the controller itself. An illustrative multivariable example is given.

Approximation of fractional positive stable continuous-time linear systems by fractional positive stable discrete-time systems

Tadeusz Kaczorek (2013)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Fractional positive asymptotically stable continuous-time linear systems are approximated by fractional positive asymptotically stable discrete-time systems using a linear Padé-type approximation. It is shown that the approximation preserves the positivity and asymptotic stability of the systems. An optional system approximation is also discussed.
