Optimal control from inoculation on a continuous microalgae culture

Jorge Antonio Torres-Muñoz, Irandi Gutierrez-Carmona, Alma Rosa Dominguez-Bocanegra (2016)

Kybernetika

Similarity:

The present work is centred on the problem of biomass productivity optimization of a culture of microalgae Spirulina maxima. The mathematical tools consisted of necessary and sufficient conditions for optimal control coming from the celebrated Pontryagin's Maximum Principle (PMP) as well as the Bellman's Principle of Optimality, respectively. It is shown that the optimal dilution rate turns to be a bang-singular-bang control. It turns out that, the experimental results are in accordance...

Time minimal control of batch reactors

B. Bonnard, G. Launay (2010)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:


In this article we consider a control system modelling a batch reactor in which three species X, X, X are reacting according to the scheme X → X → X, each reaction being irreversible. The control is the temperature T of the reactions or the derivative of this temperature with respect to time. The terminal constraint is to obtain a given concentration of the product X2 at the end of the batch. The objective of our study is to introduce and to apply all the mathematical tools to compute...

A simple solution to the finite-horizon LQ problem with zero terminal state

Lorenzo Ntogramatzidis (2003)

Kybernetika

Similarity:

This short paper deals with the classical finite-horizon linear-quadratic regulator problem with the terminal state constrained to be zero, for both continuous and discrete-time systems. Closed-form expressions for the optimal state and costate trajectories of the Hamiltonian system, as well as the corresponding control law, are derived through the solutions of two infinite- horizon LQ problems, thus avoiding the use of the Riccati differential equation. The computation of the optimal...
