Optimal Control of a Constrained Bilinear Dynamic System

In this paper, an optimal feedback, for a free vibrating semi-active controlled plant, is derived. The problem is represented as a constrained optimal control problem of a single input, free vibrating bilinear system, and a quadratic performance index. It is solved by using Krotov’s method and to this end, a novel sequence of Krotov functions that suits the addressed problem, is derived. The solution is arranged as an algorithm, which requires solving the states equation and a differential Lyapunov equation in each iteration. An outline of the proof for the algorithm convergence is provided. Emphasis is given on semi-active control design for stable free vibrating plants with a single control input. It is shown that a control force, derived by the proposed technique, obeys the physical constraint related with semi-active actuator force without the need of any arbitrary signal clipping. The control efficiency is demonstrated with a numerical example.     

Subharmonic Resonances and Chaotic Motions of a Bilinear Oscillator

A bilinear oscillator with different stiffnesses for positiveand negative deflections arises frequently in off-shore marinetechnology due to the slackening of mooring lines. A limitingcase, in which one of the stiffnesses becomes infinite, is theimpact oscillator which has applications to vessels moored ina harbour. The subharmonic resonances, bifurcations and chaotic motionsof these oscillators are studied using the concepts of topologicaldynamics. Problems of the existence, uniqueness and stabilityof the steady state motions are investigated, and particularuse is made of the Poincaré map. The bilinear oscillatoris shown to have co-existing small amplitude solutions undermost of its subharmonic resonances, showing that one-off andautomated computer integrations could easily miss an importantresonant peak. The domains of attraction of the competing stablesolutions are explored. Cascades of period-doubling bifurcationsand the exponential divergence of adjacent starts indicate thatthe impact oscillator has a régime of chaotic motionsgoverned by a strange attractor.

Optimality Conditions in a Control Problem for a Linear System With Bilinear Functional

We consider an optimization problem for a linear controlled system with a bilinearmodular functional containing a penalty-type parameter. We formulate sufficient optimality conditions on the base of the notion of a strongly extremal control. The obtained results are presented as inequalities with respect to scalar functions, where the dependence on parameters of the problem is explicit. We adduce some illustrative examples.

On Analytical Results for the Optimal Control of the quasi-stationary Radiative Heat Transfer System

We state an optimal control problem of the coupled quasi-stationary radiative heat equations consisting of the radiative transfer equation and the instationary heat transfer equation that model radiative-conductive heat transfer. We give an existence and uniqueness result for the state equations and the adjoint equations of the quasi-stationary radiative heat transfer system. For the optimal control problem the existence of a minimizer is proven. (© 2011 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
