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...

This paper concerns accuracy-guaranteed numerical computations for linear systems. Due to the rapid progress of supercomputers, the treatable problem size is getting larger. The larger the problem size, the more rounding errors in floating-point arithmetic can accumulate in general, and the more inaccurate numerical solutions are obtained. Therefore, it is important to verify the accuracy of numerical solutions. Verified numerical computations are used to produce error bounds on numerical...

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...

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. ...
