Unmaximized inclusion necessary conditions for nonconvex constrained optimal control problems

Similarity:

Necessary conditions of optimality in the form of Unmaximized Inclusions (UI) are derived for optimal control problems with state constraints. The conditions presented here generalize earlier optimality conditions to problems that may be nonconvex. The derivation of UI-type conditions in the absence of the convexity assumption is of particular importance when deriving necessary conditions for constrained problems. We illustrate this feature by establishing, as an application, optimality...

Control structure in optimization problems of bar systems

Leszek Mikulski (2004)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

Optimal design problems in mechanics can be mathematically formulated as optimal control tasks. The minimum principle is employed in solving such problems. This principle allows us to write down optimal design problems as Multipoint Boundary Value Problems (MPBVPs). The dimension of MPBVPs is an essential restriction that decides on numerical difficulties. Optimal control theory does not give much information about the control structure, i.e., about the sequence of the forms of the right-hand...
