A simple trolley-like model in the presence of a nonlinear friction and a bounded fuel expenditure

Andrei Dmitruk, Ivan Samylovskiy (2013)

Discussiones Mathematicae, Differential Inclusions, Control and Optimization

Similarity:

We consider a problem of maximization of the distance traveled by a material point in the presence of a nonlinear friction under a bounded thrust and fuel expenditure. Using the maximum principle we obtain the form of optimal control and establish conditions under which it contains a singular subarc. This problem seems to be the simplest one having a mechanical sense in which singular subarcs appear in a nontrivial way.

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...

Optimal control of nonlinear evolution equations associated with time-dependent subdifferentials and applications

Noriaki Yamazaki (2009)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

In this paper we consider optimal control problems for abstract nonlinear evolution equations associated with time-dependent subdifferentials in a real Hilbert space. We prove the existence of an optimal control that minimizes the nonlinear cost functional. Also, we study approximating control problems of our equations. Then, we show the relationship between the original optimal control problem and the approximating ones. Moreover, we give some applications of our abstract results. ...

A nonlinear plate control without linearization

Kenan Yildirim, Ismail Kucuk (2017)

Open Mathematics

Similarity:

In this paper, an optimal vibration control problem for a nonlinear plate is considered. In order to obtain the optimal control function, wellposedness and controllability of the nonlinear system is investigated. The performance index functional of the system, to be minimized by minimum level of control, is chosen as the sum of the quadratic 10 functional of the displacement. The velocity of the plate and quadratic functional of the control function is added to the performance index...

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

The aim of this article is to make some geometric remarks and some preliminary calculations in order to construct the optimal atmospheric arc of a spatial shuttle (problem of reentry on Earth or Mars Sample Return project). The system describing the trajectories is in dimension 6, the control is the bank angle and the cost is the total thermal flux. Moreover there are state constraints (thermal flux, normal acceleration and dynamic pressure). Our study is mainly geometric and is founded...

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

Optimal control of nonlinear evolution equations

Nikolaos S. Papageorgiou, Nikolaos Yannakakis (2001)

Discussiones Mathematicae, Differential Inclusions, Control and Optimization

Similarity:

In this paper, first we consider parametric control systems driven by nonlinear evolution equations defined on an evolution triple of spaces. The parametres are time-varying probability measures (Young measures) defined on a compact metric space. The appropriate optimization problem is a minimax control problem, in which the system analyst minimizes the maximum cost (risk). Under general hypotheses on the data we establish the existence of optimal controls. Then we...
