Regularity along optimal trajectories of the value function of a Mayer problem

Carlo Sinestrari (2010)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

We consider an optimal control problem of Mayer type and prove that, under suitable conditions on the system, the value function is differentiable along optimal trajectories, except possibly at the endpoints. We provide counterexamples to show that this property may fail to hold if some of our conditions are violated. We then apply our regularity result to derive optimality conditions for the trajectories of the system.

Existence of optimal nonanticipating controls in piecewise deterministic control problems

Atle Seierstad (2013)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

Optimal nonanticipating controls are shown to exist in nonautonomous piecewise deterministic control problems with hard terminal restrictions. The assumptions needed are completely analogous to those needed to obtain optimal controls in deterministic control problems. The proof is based on well-known results on existence of deterministic optimal controls.

Analysis of a time optimal control problem related to the management of a bioreactor

Lino J. Alvarez-Vázquez, Francisco J. Fernández, Aurea Martínez (2011)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

We consider a time optimal control problem arisen from the optimal management of a bioreactor devoted to the treatment of eutrophicated water. We formulate this realistic problem as a state-control constrained time optimal control problem. After analyzing the state system (a complex system of coupled partial differential equations with non-smooth coefficients for advection-diffusion-reaction with Michaelis-Menten kinetics, modelling the eutrophication processes) we demonstrate the existence...
