The linear control problem
The linear optimal control problem with variable endpoints.
The linear programming approach to deterministic optimal control problems
Given a deterministic optimal control problem (OCP) with value function, say , we introduce a linear program and its dual whose values satisfy . Then we give conditions under which (i) there is no duality gap
Transformation of optimal control problems of descriptor systems into problems with state-space systems
We show how we can transform the and control problems of descriptor systems with invariant zeros on the extended imaginary into problems with state-space systems without such zeros. Then we present necessary and sufficient conditions for existence of solutions of the original problems. Numerical algorithm for control is given, based on the Nevanlinna-Pick theorem. Also, we present an explicit formula for the optimal controller.
Two-input control systems on the euclidean group SE (2)
Any two-input left-invariant control affine system of full rank, evolving on the Euclidean group SE (2), is (detached) feedback equivalent to one of three typical cases. In each case, we consider an optimal control problem which is then lifted, via the Pontryagin Maximum Principle, to a Hamiltonian system on the dual space 𝔰𝔢 (2)*. These reduced Hamilton − Poisson systems are the main topic of this paper. A qualitative analysis of each reduced system is performed. This analysis...
