On some general almost periodic optimal control problems : links with periodic problems and necessary conditions

Denis Pennequin (2008)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

In this paper, we are concerned with periodic, quasi-periodic (q.p.) and almost periodic (a.p.) Optimal Control problems. After defining these problems and setting them in an abstract setting by using Abstract Harmonic Analysis, we give some structure results of the set of solutions, and study the relations between periodic and a.p. problems. We prove for instance that for an autonomous concave problem, the a.p. problem has a solution if and only if all problems (periodic with fixed or variable...

On the existence of optimal controls for nonlinear infinite dimensional systems

Antonella Fiacca, Nikolaos S. Papageorgiou, Francesca Papalini (1998)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

We consider nonlinear systems with a priori feedback. We establish the existence of admissible pairs and then we show that the Lagrange optimal control problem admits an optimal pair. As application we work out in detail two examples of optimal control problems for nonlinear parabolic partial differential equations.

On the Optimal Control of a Class of Time-Delay System

L. Boudjenah, M.F. Khelfi (2010)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

In this work we study the optimal control problem for a class of nonlinear time-delay systems via paratingent equation with delayed argument. We use an equivalence theorem between solutions of differential inclusions with time-delay and solutions of paratingent equations with delayed argument. We study the problem of optimal control which minimizes a certain cost function. To show the existence of optimal control, we use the main topological properties...

Optimal control of nonlinear evolution equations

Nikolaos S. Papageorgiou, Nikolaos Yannakakis (2001)

Discussiones Mathematicae, Differential Inclusions, Control and Optimization

In this paper, first we consider parametric control systems driven by nonlinear evolution equations defined on an evolution triple of spaces. The parametres are time-varying probability measures (Young measures) defined on a compact metric space. The appropriate optimization problem is a minimax control problem, in which the system analyst minimizes the maximum cost (risk). Under general hypotheses on the data we establish the existence of optimal controls. Then we pass to nonparametric...

Optimal control problems for variational inequalities with controls in coefficients and in unilateral constraints

Igor Bock, Ján Lovíšek (1987)

Aplikace matematiky

We deal with an optimal control problem for variational inequalities, where the monotone operators as well as the convex sets of possible states depend on the control parameter. The existence theorem for the optimal control will be applied to the optimal design problems for an elasto-plastic beam and an elastic plate, where a variable thickness appears as a control variable.

Optimal design of cylindrical shell with a rigid obstacle

Ján Lovíšek (1989)

Aplikace matematiky

The aim of the present paper is to study problems of optimal design in mechanics, whose variational form are inequalities expressing the principle of virtual power in its inequality form. We consider an optimal control problem in whixh the state of the system (involving an elliptic, linear symmetric operator, the coefficients of which are chosen as the design - control variables) is defined as the (unique) solution of stationary variational inequalities. The existence result proved in Section 1...
