Vector and operator valued measures as controls for infinite dimensional systems: optimal control

N.U. Ahmed — 2008

Discussiones Mathematicae, Differential Inclusions, Control and Optimization

In this paper we consider a general class of systems determined by operator valued measures which are assumed to be countably additive in the strong operator topology. This replaces our previous assumption of countable additivity in the uniform operator topology by the weaker assumption. Under the relaxed assumption plus an additional assumption requiring the existence of a dominating measure, we prove some results on existence of solutions and their regularity properties both for linear and semilinear...

Topological dual of B ( I , ( X , Y ) ) with application to stochastic systems on Hilbert space

N.U. Ahmed — 2009

Discussiones Mathematicae, Differential Inclusions, Control and Optimization

In this paper, we prove that the topological dual of the Banach space of bounded measurable functions with values in the space of nuclear operators, furnished with the natural topology, is isometrically isomorphic to the space of finitely additive linear operator-valued measures having bounded variation in a Banach space containing the space of bounded linear operators. This is then applied to a stochastic structural control problem. An optimal operator-valued measure, considered as the structural...

Controllability of evolution equations and inclusions driven by vector measures

N.U. Ahmed — 2004

Discussiones Mathematicae, Differential Inclusions, Control and Optimization

In this paper, we consider the question of controllability of a class of linear and semilinear evolution equations on Hilbert space with measures as controls. We present necessary and sufficient conditions for weak and exact (strong) controllability of a linear system. Using this result we prove that exact controllability of the linear system implies exact controllability of a perturbed semilinear system. Controllability problem for the semilinear system is formulated as a fixed point problem on...

Optimal control of systems determined by strongly nonlinear operator valued measures

N.U. Ahmed — 2008

Discussiones Mathematicae, Differential Inclusions, Control and Optimization

In this paper we consider a class of distributed parameter systems (partial differential equations) determined by strongly nonlinear operator valued measures in the setting of the Gelfand triple V ↪ H ↪ V* with continuous and dense embeddings where H is a separable Hilbert space and V is a reflexive Banach space with dual V*. The system is given by dx + A(dt,x) = f(t,x)γ(dt) + B(t)u(dt), x(0) = ξ, t ∈ I ≡ [0,T] where A is a strongly nonlinear operator valued measure...

Measure solutions for semilinear evolution equations with polynomial growth and their optimal control

N.U. Ahmed — 1997

Discussiones Mathematicae, Differential Inclusions, Control and Optimization

In this paper we introduce a new concept of generalized solutions generalizing the notion of relaxed solutions recently introduced by Fattorini. We present some results on the question of existence of generalized or measure valued solutions for semilinear evolution equations on Banach spaces with polynomial nonlinearities. The results are illustrated by two examples one of which arises in nonlinear quantum mechanics. The results are then applied to some control problems.

A relaxation theorem for partially observed stochastic control on Hilbert space

N.U. Ahmed — 2007

Discussiones Mathematicae, Differential Inclusions, Control and Optimization

In this paper, we present a result on relaxability of partially observed control problems for infinite dimensional stochastic systems in a Hilbert space. This is motivated by the fact that measure valued controls, also known as relaxed controls, are difficult to construct practically and so one must inquire if it is possible to approximate the solutions corresponding to measure valued controls by those corresponding to ordinary controls. Our main result is the relaxation theorem which states that...

N.U. Ahmed — 2013

Discussiones Mathematicae, Differential Inclusions, Control and Optimization

In this paper we consider the question of existence of measure valued solutions for neutral differential equations on Banach spaces when there is no mild solutions. We prove the existence of measure solutions and their regularity properties. We consider also control problems of such systems and prove existence of optimal feedback controls for some interesting a-typical control problems.

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.

In this paper we consider controlled McKean-Vlasov stochastic evolution equations on Hilbert spaces. We prove existence and uniqueness of solutions and regularity properties thereof. We use relaxed controls, adapted to a current of sub-sigma algebras generated by observable processes, and taking values from a Polish space. We introduce an appropriate topology based on weak star convergence. We prove continuous dependence of solutions on controls with respect to appropriate topologies. Theses results...

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. We prove existence of solutions and study properties of the solution set. It is also indicated how these results can be used in the study of control systems driven by vector measures.

Infinite dimensional uncertain dynamic systems on Banach spaces and their optimal output feedback control

N.U. Ahmed — 2015

Discussiones Mathematicae, Differential Inclusions, Control and Optimization

In this paper we consider a class of partially observed semilinear dynamic systems on infinite dimensional Banach spaces subject to dynamic and measurement uncertainty. The problem is to find an output feedback control law, an operator valued function, that minimizes the maximum risk. We present a result on the existence of an optimal (output feedback) operator valued function in the presence of uncertainty in the system as well as measurement. We also consider uncertain stochastic systems and present...

Measure valued solutions for stochastic evolution equations on Hilbert space and their feedback control

N.U. Ahmed — 2005

Discussiones Mathematicae, Differential Inclusions, Control and Optimization

In this paper, we consider a class of semilinear stochastic evolution equations on Hilbert space driven by a stochastic vector measure. The nonlinear terms are assumed to be merely continuous and bounded on bounded sets. We prove the existence of measure valued solutions generalizing some earlier results of the author. As a corollary, an existence result of a measure solution for a forward Kolmogorov equation with unbounded operator valued coefficients is obtained. The main result is further extended...

Weak compactness in the space of operator valued measures M b a ( Σ , ( X , Y ) ) and its applications

N.U. Ahmed — 2011

Discussiones Mathematicae, Differential Inclusions, Control and Optimization

In this note we present necessary and sufficient conditions characterizing conditionally weakly compact sets in the space of (bounded linear) operator valued measures M b a ( Σ , ( X , Y ) ) . This generalizes a recent result of the author characterizing conditionally weakly compact subsets of the space of nuclear operator valued measures M b a ( Σ , ( X , Y ) ) . This result has interesting applications in optimization and control theory as illustrated by several examples.

Mathematical model and optimal control of flow induced vibration of pipelines

N.U. Ahmed — 1999

Discussiones Mathematicae, Differential Inclusions, Control and Optimization

In this paper we consider a dynamic model for flow induced vibration of pipelines. We study the questions of existence and uniqueness of solutions of the system. Considering the flow rate as the control variable, we present three different necessary conditions of optimality. The last one with state constraint involves Differential Inclusions. The paper is concluded with an algorithm for computing the optimal controls.

In this paper we consider the question of optimal control for a class of stochastic evolution equations on infinite dimensional Hilbert spaces with controls appearing in both the drift and the diffusion operators. We consider relaxed controls (measure valued random processes) and briefly present some results on the question of existence of mild solutions including their regularity followed by a result on existence of partially observed optimal relaxed controls. Then we develop the necessary conditions...
