Synthesis of optimal control for nonlinear third order systems

Wiesław Szwiec

Similarity:

The paper is devoted to a certain problem in the theory of synthesis of optimal control. The fundamental results of research in the synthesis of optimal control for second order systems are given in [1], [2], [5], [10]. In particular, in [2] and [5] some specific nonlinear systems are investigated, namely the systems related with the differential equations of the forms̈ + F(s,ṡ) = u or s̈ + F(s,ṡ,u) = 0where u is a control parameter in the interval [—1,1]. Some results concerning third...

Regularity of optimal transport maps on multiple products of spheres

Alessio Figalli, Young-Heon Kim, Robert McCann (2013)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

This article addresses regularity of optimal transport maps for cost=“squared distance” on Riemannian manifolds that are products of arbitrarily many round spheres with arbitrary sizes and dimensions. Such manifolds are known to be non-negatively cross-curved. Under boundedness and non-vanishing assumptions on the transfered source and target densities we show that optimal maps stay away from the cut-locus (where the cost exhibits singularity), and obtain injectivity and continuity of...

Limiting average cost control problems in a class of discrete-time stochastic systems

Nadine Hilgert, Onesimo Hernández-Lerma (2001)

Applicationes Mathematicae

Similarity:

We consider a class of d -valued stochastic control systems, with possibly unbounded costs. The systems evolve according to a discrete-time equation x t + 1 = G ( x t , a t ) + ξ t (t = 0,1,... ), for each fixed n = 0,1,..., where the ξ t are i.i.d. random vectors, and the Gₙ are given functions converging pointwise to some function G as n → ∞. Under suitable hypotheses, our main results state the existence of stationary control policies that are expected average cost (EAC) optimal and sample path average cost (SPAC)...

Stability and sensitivity analysis for optimal control problems with control-state constraints

Kazimierz Malanowski

Similarity:

A family of parameter dependent optimal control problems ( O ) h with smooth data for nonlinear ODEs is considered. The problems are subject to pointwise mixed control-state constraints. It is assumed that, for a reference value h₀ of the parameter, a solution of ( O ) h exists. It is shown that if (i) independence, controllability and coercivity conditions are satisfied at the reference solution, then (ii) for each h from a neighborhood of h₀, a locally unique solution to ( O ) h and the associated Lagrange...

Representation of equilibrium solutions to the table problem of growing sandpiles

Piermarco Cannarsa, Pierre Cardaliaguet (2004)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

In the dynamical theory of granular matter the so-called table problem consists in studying the evolution of a heap of matter poured continuously onto a bounded domain Ω 2 . The mathematical description of the table problem, at an equilibrium configuration, can be reduced to a boundary value problem for a system of partial differential equations. The analysis of such a system, also connected with other mathematical models such as the Monge–Kantorovich problem, is the object of this paper....

Stability estimating in optimal stopping problem

Elena Zaitseva (2008)

Kybernetika

Similarity:

We consider the optimal stopping problem for a discrete-time Markov process on a Borel state space X . It is supposed that an unknown transition probability p ( · | x ) , x X , is approximated by the transition probability p ˜ ( · | x ) , x X , and the stopping rule τ ˜ * , optimal for p ˜ , is applied to the process governed by p . We found an upper bound for the difference between the total expected cost, resulting when applying τ ˜ * , and the minimal total expected cost. The bound given is a constant times sup x X p ( · | x ) - p ˜ ( · | x ) , where · is the...

Optimal observability of the multi-dimensional wave and Schrödinger equations in quantum ergodic domains

Yannick Privat, Emmanuel Trélat, Enrique Zuazua (2016)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

We consider the wave and Schrödinger equations on a bounded open connected subset Ω of a Riemannian manifold, with Dirichlet, Neumann or Robin boundary conditions whenever its boundary is nonempty. We observe the restriction of the solutions to a measurable subset ω of Ω during a time interval [ 0 , T ] with T > 0 . It is well known that, if the pair ( ω , T ) satisfies the Geometric Control Condition ( ω being an open set), then an observability inequality holds guaranteeing that the total energy of solutions...

The Monge problem for strictly convex norms in d

Thierry Champion, Luigi De Pascale (2010)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

We prove the existence of an optimal transport map for the Monge problem in a convex bounded subset of d under the assumptions that the first marginal is absolutely continuous with respect to the Lebesgue measure and that the cost is given by a strictly convex norm. We propose a new approach which does not use disintegration of measures.

Optimal potentials for Schrödinger operators

Giuseppe Buttazzo, Augusto Gerolin, Berardo Ruffini, Bozhidar Velichkov (2014)

Journal de l’École polytechnique — Mathématiques

Similarity:

We consider the Schrödinger operator - Δ + V ( x ) on H 0 1 ( Ω ) , where Ω is a given domain of d . Our goal is to study some optimization problems where an optimal potential V 0 has to be determined in some suitable admissible classes and for some suitable optimization criteria, like the energy or the Dirichlet eigenvalues.

Three results in Dunkl analysis

Béchir Amri, Jean-Philippe Anker, Mohamed Sifi (2010)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

We first establish a geometric Paley-Wiener theorem for the Dunkl transform in the crystallographic case. Next we obtain an optimal bound for the L p L p norm of Dunkl translations in dimension 1. Finally, we describe more precisely the support of the distribution associated to Dunkl translations in higher dimension.

Explicit formulas for optimal rearrangement-invariant norms in Sobolev imbedding inequalities

Ron Kerman, Luboš Pick (2011)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

We study imbeddings of the Sobolev space W m , ϱ ( Ω ) : = u: Ω → ℝ with ϱ ( α u / x α ) < ∞ when |α| ≤ m, in which Ω is a bounded Lipschitz domain in ℝⁿ, ϱ is a rearrangement-invariant (r.i.) norm and 1 ≤ m ≤ n - 1. For such a space we have shown there exist r.i. norms, τ ϱ and σ ϱ , that are optimal with respect to the inclusions W m , ϱ ( Ω ) W m , τ ϱ ( Ω ) L σ ϱ ( Ω ) . General formulas for τ ϱ and σ ϱ are obtained using the -method of interpolation. These lead to explicit expressions when ϱ is a Lorentz Gamma norm or an Orlicz norm.

An observability estimate for parabolic equations from a measurable set in time and its applications

Kim Dang Phung, Gengsheng Wang (2013)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

This paper presents a new observability estimate for parabolic equations in Ω × ( 0 , T ) , where Ω is a convex domain. The observation region is restricted over a product set of an open nonempty subset of Ω and a subset of positive measure in ( 0 , T ) . This estimate is derived with the aid of a quantitative unique continuation at one point in time. Applications to the bang-bang property for norm and time optimal control problems are provided.

Optimality of the range for which equivalence between certain measures of smoothness holds

Z. Ditzian (2010)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

Recently it was proved for 1 < p < ∞ that ω m ( f , t ) p , a modulus of smoothness on the unit sphere, and K ̃ ( f , t m ) p , a K-functional involving the Laplace-Beltrami operator, are equivalent. It will be shown that the range 1 < p < ∞ is optimal; that is, the equivalence ω m ( f , t ) p K ̃ ( f , t r ) p does not hold either for p = ∞ or for p = 1.

L p - and S p , q r B -discrepancy of (order 2) digital nets

Lev Markhasin (2015)

Acta Arithmetica

Similarity:

Dick proved that all dyadic order 2 digital nets satisfy optimal upper bounds on the L p -discrepancy. We prove this for arbitrary prime base b with an alternative technique using Haar bases. Furthermore, we prove that all digital nets satisfy optimal upper bounds on the discrepancy function in Besov spaces with dominating mixed smoothness for a certain parameter range, and enlarge that range for order 2 digital nets. The discrepancy function in Triebel-Lizorkin and Sobolev spaces with...

On the best observation of wave and Schrödinger equations in quantum ergodic billiards

This paper is a proceedings version of the ongoing work [20], and has been the object of the talk of the second author at Journées EDP in 2012. In this work we investigate optimal observability properties for wave and Schrödinger equations considered in a bounded open set Ω n , with Dirichlet boundary conditions. The observation is done on a subset ω of Lebesgue measure | ω | = L | Ω | , where L ( 0 , 1 ) is fixed. We denote...

Linearization techniques for 𝕃 See PDF-control problems and dynamic programming principles in classical and 𝕃 See PDF-control problems

Dan Goreac, Oana-Silvia Serea (2012)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

The aim of the paper is to provide a linearization approach to the 𝕃 See PDF-control problems. We begin by proving a semigroup-type behaviour of the set of constraints appearing in the linearized formulation of (standard) control problems. As a byproduct we obtain a linear formulation of the dynamic programming principle. Then, we use the 𝕃 p See PDF approach and the associated linear formulations. This seems to be the most appropriate tool for treating 𝕃 See PDF problems in continuous and...
