Control for the sine-gordon equation

Madalina Petcu, Roger Temam (2010)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

In this article we apply the optimal and the robust control theory to the sine-Gordon equation. In our case the control is given by the boundary conditions and we work in a finite time horizon. We present at the beginning the optimal control problem and we derive a necessary condition of optimality and we continue by formulating a robust control problem for which existence and uniqueness of solutions are derived.

How humans fly

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

This paper is devoted to the general problem of reconstructing the cost from the observation of trajectories, in a problem of optimal control. It is motivated by the following applied problem, concerning HALE drones: one would like them to decide by themselves for their trajectories, and to behave at least as a good human pilot. This applied question is very similar to the problem of determining what is minimized in human locomotion. These starting points are the reasons for the particular...

H 2 optimal decoupling of previewed signals in the discrete-time case

Kybernetika

Similarity:

The synthesis of a feedforward unit for H 2 optimal decoupling of measurable or previewed signals in discrete-time linear time-invariant systems is considered. It is shown that an H 2 optimal compensator can be achieved by connecting a finite impulse response (FIR) system and a stable dynamic unit. To derive the FIR system convolution profiles an easily implementable computational scheme based on pseudoinversion (possibly nested to avoid computational constraints) is proposed, while the...
