Mesh-independence and preconditioning for solving parabolic control problems with mixed control-state constraints

Michael Hintermüller, Ian Kopacka, Stefan Volkwein (2008)

Similarity:

Optimal control problems for the heat equation with pointwise bilateral control-state constraints are considered. A locally superlinearly convergent numerical solution algorithm is proposed and its mesh independence is established. Further, for the efficient numerical solution reduced space and Schur complement based preconditioners are proposed which take into account the active and inactive set structure of the problem. The paper ends by numerical tests illustrating our theoretical...

The main goal of this paper is to show some applications of the optimal control theory to the wastewater elimination problem. Firstly, we deal with the numerical simulation of a given situation. We present a suitable mathematical model, propose a method to solve it and show the numerical results for a realistic situation in the (Spain). Secondly, in the same framework of wastewater elimination problem, we pose two economic-environmental problems which can be formulated as constrained...

Minimax optimal control problems. Numerical analysis of the finite horizon case

Silvia C. Di Marco, Roberto L.V. González (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

Similarity:

In this paper we consider the numerical computation of the optimal cost function associated to the problem that consists in finding the minimum of the maximum of a scalar functional on a trajectory. We present an approximation method for the numerical solution which employs both discretization on time and on spatial variables. In this way, we obtain a fully discrete problem that has unique solution. We give an optimal estimate for the error between the approximated solution and the...

Inversion in indirect optimal control of multivariable systems

François Chaplais, Nicolas Petit (2008)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

This paper presents the role of vector relative degree in the formulation of stationarity conditions of optimal control problems for affine control systems. After translating the dynamics into a normal form, we study the Hamiltonian structure. Stationarity conditions are rewritten with a limited number of variables. The approach is demonstrated on two and three inputs systems, then, we prove a formal result in the general case. A mechanical system example serves as illustration. ...
