Stable synthesis of optimal control in stationary extremal problems

We consider optimal control problems for stationary systems whose solutions are unstable singular points of the corresponding evolution equations. We suggest a construction of a feedback control stabilizing the optimal state.     

Classical differential geometry solution of the brachistochrone tunnel problem

The Frenet-Serret equations of classical differential geometry are used to describe the quickest descent tunneling path problem. The optimal tunnel is shown to have a constant turn rate with zero torsion and is equivalent to Edelbaum's hypocycloid solution. The solutions are obtained using the maximum principle and singular arc conditions. The optimal curvature is a first-order singular arc and the optimal torsion is a second-order singular arc. Our treatment includes both the normal and the abnormal optimal control problems. Our problem is abnormal for the case where the final speed is zero. Analytical solutions for the optimal time histories are derived for all states and all adjoint states. One of Leitmann's sufficiency field theorems is used to establish optimality of the solutions.     

Gaussian density estimates for the solution of singular stochastic Riccati equations

Stochastic Riccati equation is a backward stochastic differential equation with singular generator which arises naturally in the study of stochastic linear-quadratic optimal control problems. In this paper, we obtain Gaussian density estimates for the solutions to this equation.     

A numerical method for nonconvex multi-objective optimal control problems

A numerical method is proposed for constructing an approximation of the Pareto front of nonconvex multi-objective optimal control problems. First, a suitable scalarization technique is employed for the multi-objective optimal control problem. Then by using a grid of scalarization parameter values, i.e., a grid of weights, a sequence of single-objective optimal control problems are solved to obtain points which are spread over the Pareto front. The technique is illustrated on problems involving tumor anti-angiogenesis and a fed-batch bioreactor, which exhibit bang–bang, singular and boundary types of optimal control. We illustrate that the Bolza form, the traditional scalarization in optimal control, fails to represent all the compromise, i.e., Pareto optimal, solutions.     

Numerical computation of singular control problems with application to optimal heating and cooling by solar energy

The method presented here is an extension of the multiple shooting algorithm in order to handle multipoint boundary-value problems and problems of optimal control in the special situation of singular controls or constraints on the state variables. This generalization allows a direct treatment of (nonlinear) conditions at switching points. As an example a model of optimal heating and cooling by solar energy is considered. The model is given in the form of an optimal control problem with three control functions appearing linearly and a first order constraint on the state variables. Numerical solutions of this problem by multiple shooting techniques are presented.     

On the order of singular optimal control problems

In singular optimal control problems, the functional form of the optimal control function is usually determined by solving the algebraic equation which results by successively differentiating the switching function until the control appears explicitly. This process defines the order of the singular problem. Order-related results are developed for singular linear-quadratic problems and for a bilinear example which gives new insights into the relationship between singular problem order and singular are order.Dedicated to R.

Optimal processes in smooth-convex minimization problems

The paper elaborates a general method for studying smooth-convex conditional minimization problems that allows one to obtain necessary conditions for solutions of these problems in the case where the image of the mapping corresponding to the constraints of the problem considered can be of infinite codimension. On the basis of the elaborated method, the author proves necessary optimality conditions in the form of an analog of the Pontryagin maximum principle in various classes of quasilinear optimal control problems with mixed constraints; moreover, the author succeeds in preserving a unified approach to obtaining necessary optimality conditions for control systems without delays, as well as for systems with incommensurable delays in state coordinates and control parameters. The obtained necessary optimality conditions are of a constructive character, which allows one to construct optimal processes in practical problems (from biology, economics, social sciences, electric technology, metallurgy, etc.), in which it is necessary to take into account an interrelation between the control parameters and the state coordinates of the control object considered. The result referring to systems with aftereffect allows one to successfully study many-branch product processes, in particular, processes with constraints of the “bottle-neck” type, which were considered by R. Bellman, and also those modern problems of flight dynamics, space navigation, building, etc. in which, along with mixed constraints, it is necessary to take into account the delay effect. The author suggests a general scheme for studying optimal process with free right endpoint based on the application of the obtained necessary optimality conditions, which allows one to find optimal processes in those control systems in which no singular cases arise. The author gives an effective procedure for studying the singular case (the procedure for calculating a singular control in quasilinear systems with mixed constraints. Using the obtained necessary optimality conditions, the author constructs optimal processes in concrete control systems. __________ Translated from Sovremennaya Matematika i Ee Prilozheniya (Contemporary Mathematics and Its Applications), Vol. 42, Optimal Control, 2006.     

Optimal and Approximate Solutions of Singular Integral Equations by Means of Reproducing Kernels

A reproducing kernel method is proposed to obtain the optimal and approximate solutions of Carleman singular integral equations. Therefore, we will be mostly interested in singular integral equations with a Cauchy type kernel and whose coefficients are real or complex valued functions. The new method and corresponding concepts allow the analysis of associated discrete singular integral equations and corresponding inverse source problems in appropriate frameworks.     

Singular mean-field control games

This article studies singular mean field control problems and singular mean field two-players stochastic differential games. Both sufficient and necessary conditions for the optimal controls and for the Nash equilibrium are obtained. Under some assumptions the optimality conditions for singular mean-field control are reduced to a reflected Skorohod problem, whose solution is proved to exist uniquely. Motivations are given as optimal harvesting of stochastic mean-field systems, optimal irreversible investments under uncertainty and mean-field singular investment games. In particular, a simple singular mean-field investment game is studied, where the Nash equilibrium exists but is not unique.     

Asymptotic properties of solutions of parametric optimal control problems with varying index of the singular arcs

We consider a family of parametric linear-quadratic optimal control problems with terminal and control constraints. This family has the specific feature that the class of optimal controls is changed for an arbitrarily small change in the parameter. In the perturbed problem, the behavior of the corresponding trajectory on noncritical arcs of the optimal control is described by solutions of singularly perturbed boundary value problems. For the solutions of these boundary value problems, we obtain an asymptotic expansion in powers of the small parameter ?. The asymptotic formula starts from a term of the order of 1/? and contains boundary layers. This formula is used to justify the asymptotic expansion of the optimal control for a perturbed problem in the family. We suggest a simple method for constructing approximate solutions of the perturbed optimal control problems without integrating singularly perturbed systems. The results of a numerical experiment are presented.
