The equivalence of controlled lagrangian and controlled hamiltonian systems

Dong Eui Chang, Anthony M. Bloch, Naomi E. Leonard, Jerrold E. Marsden, Craig A. Woolsey (2002)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

The purpose of this paper is to show that the method of controlled lagrangians and its hamiltonian counterpart (based on the notion of passivity) are equivalent under rather general hypotheses. We study the particular case of simple mechanical control systems (where the underlying lagrangian is kinetic minus potential energy) subject to controls and external forces in some detail. The equivalence makes use of almost Poisson structures (Poisson brackets that may fail to satisfy the Jacobi identity)...

The steepest descent dynamical system with control. Applications to constrained minimization

Alexandre Cabot (2004)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Let H be a real Hilbert space, Φ 1 : H a convex function of class 𝒞 1 that we wish to minimize under the convex constraint S . A classical approach consists in following the trajectories of the generalized steepest descent system (cf. Brézis [5]) applied to the non-smooth function Φ 1 + δ S . Following Antipin [1], it is also possible to use a continuous gradient-projection system. We propose here an alternative method as follows: given a smooth convex function Φ 0 : H whose critical points coincide with S and a control...
