Let be a real Hilbert space, Φ 1 : H → a convex function of class 𝒞 1 that we wish to minimize under the convex constraint . A classical approach consists in following the trajectories of the generalized steepest descent system (  Brézis [CITE]) applied to the non-smooth function  Φ 1 + δ S . Following Antipin [1], it is also possible to use a continuous gradient-projection system. We propose here an alternative method as follows: given a smooth convex function  Φ 0 : H → whose critical points coincide with  and...

Controlled functional differential equations: approximate and exact asymptotic tracking with prescribed transient performance

Eugene P. Ryan, Chris J. Sangwin, Philip Townsend (2008)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

A tracking problem is considered in the context of a class 𝒮 of multi-input, multi-output, nonlinear systems modelled by controlled functional differential equations. The class contains, as a prototype, all finite-dimensional, linear, -input, -output, minimum-phase systems with sign-definite “high-frequency gain". The first control objective is tracking of reference signals by the output of any system in 𝒮 : given λ ≥ 0 , construct a feedback strategy which ensures that, for every (assumed...
