Controlling a non-homogeneous Timoshenko beam with the aid of the torque

Grigory M. Sklyar, Grzegorz Szkibiel (2013)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Considered is the control and stabilizability of a slowly rotating non-homogeneous Timoshenko beam with the aid of a torque. It turns out that the beam is (approximately) controllable with the aid of the torque if and only if it is (approximately) controllable. However, the controllability problem appears to be a side-effect while studying the stabilizability. To build a stabilizing control one needs to go through the methods of correcting the operators with functionals so that they have finally...

Controls insensitizing the norm of the solution of a semilinear heat equation in unbounded domains

L. de Teresa (2010)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

We consider a semilinear heat equation in an unbounded domain Ω with partially known initial data. The insensitizing problem consists in finding a control function such that some functional of the state is locally insensitive to the perturbations of these initial data. For bounded domains Bodart and Fabre proved the existence of insensitizing controls of the norm of the observation of the solution in an open subset of the domain. In this paper we prove similar results when Ω is unbounded. We consider...

Convergence of a two-grid algorithm for the control of the wave equation

Liviu Ignat, Enrique Zuazua (2009)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We analyze the problem of boundary observability of the finite-difference space semidiscretizations of the 2-d wave equation in the square. We prove the uniform (with respect to the meshsize) boundary observability for the solutions obtained by the two-grid preconditioner introduced by Glowinski [9]. Our method uses previously known uniform observability inequalities for low frequency solutions and a dyadic spectral time decomposition. As a consequence we prove the convergence of the two-grid algorithm...

Correcteurs proportionnels-intégraux généralisés

Michel Fliess, Richard Marquez, Emmanuel Delaleau, Hebertt Sira-Ramírez (2002)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Nous introduisons pour les systèmes linéaires constants les reconstructeurs intégraux et les correcteurs proportionnels-intégraux généralisés, qui permettent d’éviter le terme dérivé du PID classique et, plus généralement, les observateurs asymptotiques usuels. Notre approche, de nature essentiellement algébrique, fait appel à la théorie des modules et au calcul opérationnel de Mikusiński. Plusieurs exemples sont examinés.

Correcteurs proportionnels-intégraux généralisés

Michel Fliess, Richard Marquez, Emmanuel Delaleau, Hebertt Sira–Ramírez (2010)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

For constant linear systems we are introducing integral reconstructors and generalized proportional-integral controllers, which permit to bypass the derivative term in the classic PID controllers and more generally the usual asymptotic observers. Our approach, which is mainly of algebraic flavour, is based on the module-theoretic framework for linear systems and on operational calculus in Mikusiński's setting. Several examples are discussed.

Cut locus and optimal synthesis in the sub-Riemannian problem on the group of motions of a plane*

Yuri L. Sachkov (2011)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

The left-invariant sub-Riemannian problem on the group of motions (rototranslations) of a plane SE(2) is considered. In the previous works [Moiseev and Sachkov, ESAIM: COCV, DOI: 10.1051/cocv/2009004; Sachkov, ESAIM: COCV, DOI: 10.1051/cocv/2009031], extremal trajectories were defined, their local and global optimality were studied. In this paper the global structure of the exponential mapping is described. On this basis an explicit characterization of the cut locus and Maxwell set is obtained....
