Optimisation in space of measures and optimal design

Ilya Molchanov, Sergei Zuyev (2004)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

The paper develops an approach to optimal design problems based on application of abstract optimisation principles in the space of measures. Various design criteria and constraints, such as bounded density, fixed barycentre, fixed variance, etc. are treated in a unified manner providing a universal variant of the Kiefer-Wolfowitz theorem and giving a full spectrum of optimality criteria for particular cases. Incorporating the optimal design problems into conventional optimisation framework makes...

Optimization and identification of nonlinear uncertain systems

Jong Yeoul Park, Yong Han Kang, Il Hyo Jung (2003)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

In this paper we consider the optimal control of both operators and parameters for uncertain systems. For the optimal control and identification problem, we show existence of an optimal solution and present necessary conditions of optimality.

Patchy Vector Fields and Asymptotic Stabilization

Fabio Ancona, Alberto Bressan (2010)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

This paper is concerned with the structure of asymptotically stabilizing feedbacks for a nonlinear control system on n . We first introduce a family of discontinuous, piecewise smooth vector fields and derive a number of properties enjoyed by solutions of the corresponding O.D.E's. We then define a class of “patchy feedbacks” which are obtained by patching together a locally finite family of smooth controls. Our main result shows that, if a system is asymptotically controllable at the origin,...

POD a-posteriori error based inexact SQP method for bilinear elliptic optimal control problems

Martin Kahlbacher, Stefan Volkwein (2012)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis - Modélisation Mathématique et Analyse Numérique

An optimal control problem governed by a bilinear elliptic equation is considered. This problem is solved by the sequential quadratic programming (SQP) method in an infinite-dimensional framework. In each level of this iterative method the solution of linear-quadratic subproblem is computed by a Galerkin projection using proper orthogonal decomposition (POD). Thus, an approximate (inexact) solution of the subproblem is determined. Based on a POD a-posteriori error estimator developed by Tröltzsch...
