Feedback in state constrained optimal control

Francis H. Clarke, Ludovic Rifford, R. J. Stern (2010)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

An optimal control problem is studied, in which the state is required to remain in a compact set . A control feedback law is constructed which, for given ε > 0, produces -optimal trajectories that satisfy the state constraint universally with respect to all initial conditions in . The construction relies upon a constraint removal technique which utilizes geometric properties of inner approximations of and a related trajectory tracking result. The control feedback is shown to possess...

Relaxation of optimal control problems in L-SPACES

Nadir Arada (2010)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

We consider control problems governed by semilinear parabolic equations with pointwise state constraints and controls in an -space ( < ∞). We construct a correct relaxed problem, prove some relaxation results, and derive necessary optimality conditions.

Viability Kernels and Control Sets

Dietmar Szolnoki (2010)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

This paper analyzes the relation of viability kernels and control sets of control affine systems. A viability kernel describes the largest closed viability domain contained in some closed subset of the state space. On the other hand, control sets are maximal regions of the state space where approximate controllability holds. It turns out that the viability kernel of can be represented by the union of domains of attraction of chain control sets, defined relative to the given set . In...

Mean-Field Optimal Control

Massimo Fornasier, Francesco Solombrino (2014)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

We introduce the concept of which is the rigorous limit process connecting finite dimensional optimal control problems with ODE constraints modeling multi-agent interactions to an infinite dimensional optimal control problem with a constraint given by a PDE of Vlasov-type, governing the dynamics of the probability distribution of interacting agents. While in the classical mean-field theory one studies the behavior of a large number of small individuals with each other, by simplifying...

A priori error estimates for a state-constrained elliptic optimal control problem

Arnd Rösch, Simeon Steinig (2012)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis - Modélisation Mathématique et Analyse Numérique

Similarity:

We examine an elliptic optimal control problem with control and state constraints in ℝ. An improved error estimate of &#x1d4aa;( ) with 3/4 ≤ ≤ 1 − ε is proven for a discretisation involving piecewise constant functions for the control and piecewise linear for the state. The derived order of convergence is illustrated by a numerical example.

Spreadability, Vulnerability and Protector Control

A. Bernoussi (2010)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

Similarity:

In this work, we present some concepts recently introduced in the analysis and control of distributed parameter systems: , and . These concepts permit to describe many biogeographical phenomena, as those of pollution, desertification or epidemics, which are characterized by a spatio-temporal evolution

On asymptotic exit-time control problems lacking coercivity

M. Motta, C. Sartori (2014)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

The research on a class of asymptotic exit-time problems with a vanishing Lagrangian, begun in [M. Motta and C. Sartori, Springer (2014).] for the compact control case, is extended here to the case of unbounded controls and data, including both coercive and non-coercive problems. We give sufficient conditions to have a well-posed notion of generalized control problem and obtain regularity, characterization and approximation results for the value function of the problem.
