An a posteriori error analysis of adaptive finite element methods for distributed elliptic control problems with control constraints

Michael Kieweg, Yuri Iliash, Ronald H. W. Hoppe, Michael Hintermüller (2008)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

We present an a posteriori error analysis of adaptive finite element approximations of distributed control problems for second order elliptic boundary value problems under bound constraints on the control. The error analysis is based on a residual-type a posteriori error estimator that consists of edge and element residuals. Since we do not assume any regularity of the data of the problem, the error analysis further invokes data oscillations. We prove reliability and efficiency of the...

Error estimates for the numerical approximation of semilinear elliptic control problems with finitely many state constraints

Eduardo Casas (2002)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

The goal of this paper is to derive some error estimates for the numerical discretization of some optimal control problems governed by semilinear elliptic equations with bound constraints on the control and a finitely number of equality and inequality state constraints. We prove some error estimates for the optimal controls in the L ∞ norm and we also obtain error estimates for the Lagrange multipliers associated to the state constraints as well as for the optimal states and optimal adjoint...

Modelling and control in pseudoplate problem with discontinuous thickness

Ján Lovíšek (2009)

Applications of Mathematics

Similarity:

This paper concerns an obstacle control problem for an elastic (homogeneous) and isotropic) pseudoplate. The state problem is modelled by a coercive variational inequality, where control variable enters the coefficients of the linear operator. Here, the role of control variable is played by the thickness of the pseudoplate which need not belong to the set of continuous functions. Since in general problems of control in coefficients have no optimal solution, a class of the extended optimal...

Double-stepped adaptive control for hybrid systems with unknown Markov jumps and stochastic noises

Shuping Tan, Ji-Feng Zhang (2009)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

This paper is concerned with the sampled-data based adaptive linear quadratic (LQ) control of hybrid systems with both unmeasurable Markov jump processes and stochastic noises. By the least matching error estimation algorithm, parameter estimates are presented. By a double-step (DS) sampling approach and the certainty equivalence principle, a sampled-data based adaptive LQ control is designed. The DS-approach is characterized by a comparatively large estimation step for parameter estimation...

Approximation and numerical realization of 3D contact problems with given friction and a coefficient of friction depending on the solution

Jaroslav Haslinger, Tomáš Ligurský (2009)

Applications of Mathematics

Similarity:

The paper presents the analysis, approximation and numerical realization of 3D contact problems for an elastic body unilaterally supported by a rigid half space taking into account friction on the common surface. Friction obeys the simplest Tresca model (a slip bound is given a priori) but with a coefficient of friction ℱ which depends on a solution. It is shown that a solution exists for a large class of ℱ and is unique provided that ℱ is Lipschitz continuous with a sufficiently small...

Designing a ship course controller by applying the adaptive backstepping method

Anna Witkowska, Roman Śmierzchalski (2012)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

The article discusses the problem of designing a proper and efficient adaptive course-keeping control system for a seagoing ship based on the adaptive backstepping method. The proposed controller in the design stage takes into account the dynamic properties of the steering gear and the full nonlinear static maneuvering characteristic. The adjustable parameters of the achieved nonlinear control structure were tuned up by using the genetic algorithm in order to optimize the system performance....

Finite element discretization of Darcy's equations with pressure dependent porosity

Vivette Girault, François Murat, Abner Salgado (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

Similarity:

We consider the flow of a viscous incompressible fluid through a rigid homogeneous porous medium. The permeability of the medium depends on the pressure, so that the model is nonlinear. We propose a finite element discretization of this problem and, in the case where the dependence on the pressure is bounded from above and below, we prove its convergence to the solution and propose an algorithm to solve the discrete system. In the case where the dependence on the pressure is exponential,...
