A set oriented approach to global optimal control

Oliver Junge, Hinke M. Osinga (2010)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

We describe an algorithm for computing the value function for “all source, single destination” discrete-time nonlinear optimal control problems together with approximations of associated globally optimal control strategies. The method is based on a set oriented approach for the discretization of the problem in combination with graph-theoretic techniques. The central idea is that a discretization of phase space of the given problem leads to an (all source, single destination)...

Some applications of optimal control theory of distributed systems

Alfredo Bermudez (2002)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

In this paper we present some applications of the J.-L. Lions’ optimal control theory to real life problems in engineering and environmental sciences. More precisely, we deal with the following three problems: sterilization of canned foods, optimal management of waste-water treatment plants and noise control

Coplanar control of a satellite around the earth

Jean-Baptiste Caillau, Joseph Noailles (2001)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

We investigate the minimum time transfer of a satellite around the Earth. Using an optimal control model, we study the controllability of the system and propose a geometrical analysis of the optimal command structure. Furthermore, in order to solve the problem numerically, a new parametric technique is introduced for which convergence properties are established.
