Deterministic optimal policies for Markov control processes with pathwise constraints

Armando F. Mendoza-Pérez, Onésimo Hernández-Lerma (2012)

Applicationes Mathematicae

This paper deals with discrete-time Markov control processes in Borel spaces with unbounded rewards. Under suitable hypotheses, we show that a randomized stationary policy is optimal for a certain expected constrained problem (ECP) if and only if it is optimal for the corresponding pathwise constrained problem (pathwise CP). Moreover, we show that a certain parametric family of unconstrained optimality equations yields convergence properties that lead to an approximation scheme which allows us to...

Differentiability of perturbed semigroups and delay semigroups

Charles J. K. Batty (2007)

Banach Center Publications

Suppose that A generates a C₀-semigroup T on a Banach space X. In 1953 R. S. Phillips showed that, for each bounded operator B on X, the perturbation A+B of A generates a C₀-semigroup on X, and he considered whether certain classes of semigroups are stable under such perturbations. This study was extended in 1968 by A. Pazy who identified a condition on the resolvent of A which is sufficient for the perturbed semigroups to be immediately differentiable. However, M. Renardy showed in 1995 that immediate...

Differential flatness and defect: an overview

Michel Fliess, Jean Lévine, Philippe Martin, Pierre Rouchon (1995)

Banach Center Publications

We introduce flat systems, which are equivalent to linear ones via a special type of feedback called endogenous. Their physical properties are subsumed by a linearizing output and they might be regarded as providing another nonlinear extension of Kalman's controllability. The distance to flatness is measured by a non-negative integer, the defect. We utilize differential algebra which suits well to the fact that, in accordance with Willems' standpoint, flatness and defect are best defined without...

Piotr Holnicki, Jan Sokołowski, Antoni Żochowski (1987)

Aplikace matematiky

The convex optimal control problem for a system described by the parabolic equation is considered. The form of the right derivative of an optimal solution with respect to the parameter is derived. The applications to an air quality control problem are discussed. Numerical result are provided.

Direct adaptive control of unknown nonlinear systems using a new neuro-fuzzy method together with a novel approach of parameter hopping

Dimitris Theodoridis, Yiannis Boutalis, Manolis Christodoulou (2009)

Kybernetika

The direct adaptive regulation for affine in the control nonlinear dynamical systems possessing unknown nonlinearities, is considered in this paper. The method is based on a new Neuro-Fuzzy Dynamical System definition, which uses the concept of Fuzzy Dynamical Systems (FDS) operating in conjunction with High Order Neural Network Functions (F-HONNFs). Since the plant is considered unknown, we first propose its approximation by a special form of a fuzzy dynamical system (FDS) and in the sequel the...

Direct algorithm for pole placement by state-derivative feedback for multi-inputlinear systems - nonsingular case

Taha H. S. Abdelaziz, Michael Valášek (2005)

Kybernetika

This paper deals with the direct solution of the pole placement problem by state-derivative feedback for multi- input linear systems. The paper describes the solution of this pole placement problem for any controllable system with nonsingular system matrix and nonzero desired poles. Then closed-loop poles can be placed in order to achieve the desired system performance. The solving procedure results into a formula similar to Ackermann one. Its derivation is based on the transformation of linear...

Discrete evolutions: Convergence and applications

Erich Bohl, Johannes Schropp (1993)

Applications of Mathematics

We prove a convergence result for a time discrete process of the form x ( t + h ) - x ( t ) = h V ( h , x ( t + α 1 ( t ) h ) , . . . , x ( t + α L ( t ) h ) ) t = T + j h , j = 0 , . . . , σ ( h ) - 1 under weak conditions on the function V . This result is a slight generalization of the convergence result given in [5].Furthermore, we discuss applications to minimizing problems, boundary value problems and systems of nonlinear equations.
