Identification of parameters in initial value problems for ordinary differential equations

Chleboun, Jan, Mikeš, Karel (2015)

Programs and Algorithms of Numerical Mathematics

Scalar parameter values as well as initial condition values are to be identified in initial value problems for ordinary differential equations (ODE). To achieve this goal, computer algebra tools are combined with numerical tools in the MATLAB environment. The best fit is obtained through the minimization of the summed squares of the difference between measured data and ODE solution. The minimization is based on a gradient algorithm where the gradient of the summed squares is calculated either numerically...

Injective weak solutions in second-gradient nonlinear elasticity

Timothy J. Healey, Stefan Krömer (2009)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

We consider a class of second-gradient elasticity models for which the internal potential energy is taken as the sum of a convex function of the second gradient of the deformation and a general function of the gradient. However, in consonance with classical nonlinear elasticity, the latter is assumed to grow unboundedly as the determinant of the gradient approaches zero. While the existence of a minimizer is routine, the existence of weak solutions is not, and we focus our efforts on that question...

Interior sphere property of attainable sets and time optimal control problems

Piermarco Cannarsa, Hélène Frankowska (2006)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

This paper studies the attainable set at time T>0 for the control system y ˙ ( t ) = f ( y ( t ) , u ( t ) ) u ( t ) ∈ U showing that, under suitable assumptions on f, such a set satisfies a uniform interior sphere condition. The interior sphere property is then applied to recover a semiconcavity result for the value function of time optimal control problems with a general target, and to deduce C1,1-regularity for boundaries of attainable sets.

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.
