Download or read book Optimal Control of Systems with Uncertainty written by W. E. Schmitendorf and published by . This book was released on 1978 with total page 83 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The research being performed under AFOSR Grant 76-2923 is concerned with optimally controlling a system to a specified target when disturbances or uncertainties enter the system. Two general problems in this area are being investigated. One problem is that of determining if there exists a control that assures that the system reaches a specified target set for all possible disturbances. If such a control exists, then the next problem is to determine a control which guarantees that the target is reached and it also optimal in the sense of minimizing a specified measure of the system's performance. Our research effort has been directed toward obtaining methods for answering the questions raised by these problems and thereby aiding in the design of controllers for uncertain systems. (Author).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This investigation of static minmax problems has produced necessary and sufficient conditions which can be used to solve such problems. This has also led to a clearer understanding of the nature of minmax problems for dynamic problems with uncertainty in the state equations or in the initial conditions, sufficient conditions were derived which the minmax control must satisfy and, using these conditions, constructive techniques were developed which can be used to generate minmax solutions. These methods are now available for solving minmax problems and can be used to analyze problems where there is uncertainty in the model or in the measurement of the initial state. These methods will aid in the design of systems where exact models of the systems are not available or where exact measurements of the state of the system cannot be obtainted. (Author).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "An excellent introduction to optimal control and estimation theory and its relationship with LQG design. . . . invaluable as a reference for those already familiar with the subject." — Automatica. This highly regarded graduate-level text provides a comprehensive introduction to optimal control theory for stochastic systems, emphasizing application of its basic concepts to real problems. The first two chapters introduce optimal control and review the mathematics of control and estimation. Chapter 3 addresses optimal control of systems that may be nonlinear and time-varying, but whose inputs and parameters are known without error. Chapter 4 of the book presents methods for estimating the dynamic states of a system that is driven by uncertain forces and is observed with random measurement error. Chapter 5 discusses the general problem of stochastic optimal control, and the concluding chapter covers linear time-invariant systems. Robert F. Stengel is Professor of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Princeton University, where he directs the Topical Program on Robotics and Intelligent Systems and the Laboratory for Control and Automation. He was a principal designer of the Project Apollo Lunar Module control system.

Download or read book Uncertainty and Optimal Control written by Donald S. Macko and published by . This book was released on 1962 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The success of so-called optimal control is investigated, by comparing the performance of an optimal control system to the performance of a control system considered as suboptimal, for non-trivial situations where uncertainties regarding the future behavior of the system or its environment exist. It is shown by analytical considerations that optimal control is successful only in limited and restricted circumstances and, more so, that the introduction of optimal control can deteriorate rather than improve the over-all system performance. Some criteria are suggested upon which a decision can be based regarding an optimal control mode. A number of numerical examples are presented in order to indicate the regions in uncertainty space where the optimal control is successful and the regions where the control considered as suboptimal is better than the so-called optimal control.

Download or read book Linear Control Theory written by Shankar P. Bhattacharyya and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2018-10-03 with total page 924 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Successfully classroom-tested at the graduate level, Linear Control Theory: Structure, Robustness, and Optimization covers three major areas of control engineering (PID control, robust control, and optimal control). It provides balanced coverage of elegant mathematical theory and useful engineering-oriented results. The first part of the book develops results relating to the design of PID and first-order controllers for continuous and discrete-time linear systems with possible delays. The second section deals with the robust stability and performance of systems under parametric and unstructured uncertainty. This section describes several elegant and sharp results, such as Kharitonov’s theorem and its extensions, the edge theorem, and the mapping theorem. Focusing on the optimal control of linear systems, the third part discusses the standard theories of the linear quadratic regulator, Hinfinity and l1 optimal control, and associated results. Written by recognized leaders in the field, this book explains how control theory can be applied to the design of real-world systems. It shows that the techniques of three term controllers, along with the results on robust and optimal control, are invaluable to developing and solving research problems in many areas of engineering.
Download or read book Optimal Control Expectations and Uncertainty written by Sean Holly and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2010-01-14 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rational expectations revolution and other developments in economics (notably game theory) have fundamentally altered the application of optimal control theory to economic forecasting and planning. In particular, they have shown that economic systems cannot be modeled simplistically on physical systems. However, as the authors show, these developments have greatly enhanced our understanding of how an economy functions, and now make it possible for optimal control theory to be applied much more effectively to economic modeling and planning.

This book was released on 1976 with total page 8 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper investigates optimal control problems where there is uncertainty in the initial state measurement or where there are uncertain parameters in the state equations. It is assumed that nature will choose the uncertainty to maximize the cost which the controller is attempting to minimize. Thus a minmax control is sought. Sufficient conditions for a control to be a minmax control are presented. These conditions suggest methods for finding the minmax control and such techniques are described. The application of these methods is illustrated by example problems.
