Impulsive stabilization of high-order nonlinear retarded differential equations

Juan Liu, Xiaodi Li (2013)

Applications of Mathematics

In this paper, impulsive stabilization of high-order nonlinear retarded differential equations is investigated by using Lyapunov functions and some analysis methods. Our results show that several non-impulsive unstable systems can be stabilized by imposition of impulsive controls. Some recent results are extended and improved. An example is given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control and stabilization methods.

Inversion in indirect optimal control of multivariable systems

François Chaplais, Nicolas Petit (2008)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

This paper presents the role of vector relative degree in the formulation of stationarity conditions of optimal control problems for affine control systems. After translating the dynamics into a normal form, we study the Hamiltonian structure. Stationarity conditions are rewritten with a limited number of variables. The approach is demonstrated on two and three inputs systems, then, we prove a formal result in the general case. A mechanical system example serves as illustration.
