Book excerpt: While optimality conditions for optimal control problems with state constraints have been extensively investigated in the literature the results pertaining to numerical methods are relatively scarce. This book fills the gap by providing a family of new methods. Among others, a novel convergence analysis of optimal control algorithms is introduced. The analysis refers to the topology of relaxed controls only to a limited degree and makes little use of Lagrange multipliers corresponding to state constraints. This approach enables the author to provide global convergence analysis of first order and superlinearly convergent second order methods. Further, the implementation aspects of the methods developed in the book are presented and discussed. The results concerning ordinary differential equations are then extended to control problems described by differential-algebraic equations in a comprehensive way for the first time in the literature.

Book excerpt: "Optimal Control" reports on new theoretical and practical advances essential for analysing and synthesizing optimal controls of dynamical systems governed by partial and ordinary differential equations. New necessary and sufficient conditions for optimality are given. Recent advances in numerical methods are discussed. These have been achieved through new techniques for solving large-sized nonlinear programs with sparse Hessians, and through a combination of direct and indirect methods for solving the multipoint boundary value problem. The book also focuses on the construction of feedback controls for nonlinear systems and highlights advances in the theory of problems with uncertainty. Decomposition methods of nonlinear systems and new techniques for constructing feedback controls for state- and control constrained linear quadratic systems are presented. The book offers solutions to many complex practical optimal control problems.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this thesis we consider numerical methods for solving state-constrained optimal control problems. There are two main focii in the research, i.e. state- constrained optimal open-loop and feedback control problems. For all cases, we reformulate the constrained optimal control problem to the unconstrained problem through a penalty method. The state-constraints which we discuss here are only in the form of inequalities but for both purely state-constraint and control-state constraint types. For solving state-constrained optimal open-loop control problems, we establish a power penalty method and analyze its convergence. This method is then implemented in MISER 3.3 to do some numerical tests. The results con rm that the method work very well. Furthermore, we use the power penalty method to discuss a sensitivity analysis. On the other hand, for solving state-constrained optimal feedback control problems we construct a new numerical algorithm. The algorithm based on upwind nite di erence scheme is iterated in order to increase the accuracy and speed of computation. In particular to address the curse of dimensionality, a special method for generating grid points in the domain is developed. Numerical experiment shows that the computational speed increases significantly with this modi ed method. Moreover, for further improvement in the accuracy the algorithm can be combined with Richardson Extrapolation Method.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work presents recent mathematical methods in the area of optimal control with a particular emphasis on the computational aspects and applications. Optimal control theory concerns the determination of control strategies for complex dynamical systems, in order to optimize some measure of their performance. Started in the 60's under the pressure of the "space race" between the US and the former USSR, the field now has a far wider scope, and embraces a variety of areas ranging from process control to traffic flow optimization, renewable resources exploitation and management of financial markets. These emerging applications require more and more efficient numerical methods for their solution, a very difficult task due the huge number of variables. The chapters of this volume give an up-to-date presentation of several recent methods in this area including fast dynamic programming algorithms, model predictive control and max-plus techniques. This book is addressed to researchers, graduate students and applied scientists working in the area of control problems, differential games and their applications.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book introduces, in an accessible way, the basic elements of Numerical PDE-Constrained Optimization, from the derivation of optimality conditions to the design of solution algorithms. Numerical optimization methods in function-spaces and their application to PDE-constrained problems are carefully presented. The developed results are illustrated with several examples, including linear and nonlinear ones. In addition, MATLAB codes, for representative problems, are included. Furthermore, recent results in the emerging field of nonsmooth numerical PDE constrained optimization are also covered. The book provides an overview on the derivation of optimality conditions and on some solution algorithms for problems involving bound constraints, state-constraints, sparse cost functionals and variational inequality constraints.

This book was released on 2009-01 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many scientific and technical processes are described by partial differential equations. The optimization of such processes leads to optimal control problems for partial differential equations. Focus of interest in present work is a family of optimal control problems governed by semilinear elliptic partial differential equations (PDEs) and pointwise nonlinear inequality constraints. In order to find an optimal solution, one puts special attention to numerical methods. In the scope of present dissertation, we establish necessary and sufficient optimality conditions and analyze the convergence of sequential quadratic programming (SQP) methods applied to mixed constrained optimal control problems, i.e., for the optimal control problem with coupling between control and state in constraints. The convergence theory for the SQP method bases on its relation to the Newton method applied to a so-called generalized equation which represents first-order necessary optimality conditions. At the end of this thesis the developed theory is verified by numerical tests for discrete optimal control problems.

This book was released on 2012-01-03 with total page 622 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This special volume focuses on optimization and control of processes governed by partial differential equations. The contributors are mostly participants of the DFG-priority program 1253: Optimization with PDE-constraints which is active since 2006. The book is organized in sections which cover almost the entire spectrum of modern research in this emerging field. Indeed, even though the field of optimal control and optimization for PDE-constrained problems has undergone a dramatic increase of interest during the last four decades, a full theory for nonlinear problems is still lacking. The contributions of this volume, some of which have the character of survey articles, therefore, aim at creating and developing further new ideas for optimization, control and corresponding numerical simulations of systems of possibly coupled nonlinear partial differential equations. The research conducted within this unique network of groups in more than fifteen German universities focuses on novel methods of optimization, control and identification for problems in infinite-dimensional spaces, shape and topology problems, model reduction and adaptivity, discretization concepts and important applications. Besides the theoretical interest, the most prominent question is about the effectiveness of model-based numerical optimization methods for PDEs versus a black-box approach that uses existing codes, often heuristic-based, for optimization.
