Control structure in optimization problems of bar systems

Leszek Mikulski (2004)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

Optimal design problems in mechanics can be mathematically formulated as optimal control tasks. The minimum principle is employed in solving such problems. This principle allows us to write down optimal design problems as Multipoint Boundary Value Problems (MPBVPs). The dimension of MPBVPs is an essential restriction that decides on numerical difficulties. Optimal control theory does not give much information about the control structure, i.e., about the sequence of the forms of the right-hand...

The linear programming approach to deterministic optimal control problems

Daniel Hernández-Hernández, Onésimo Hernández-Lerma, Michael Taksar (1996)

Applicationes Mathematicae

Similarity:

Given a deterministic optimal control problem (OCP) with value function, say J * , we introduce a linear program ( P ) and its dual ( P * ) whose values satisfy sup ( P * ) ≤ inf ( P ) ≤ J * ( t , x ) . Then we give conditions under which (i) there is no duality gap
