Second order analysis for the optimal selection of time delays

Optimization and Control 2024-05-24 v1

Abstract

For a nonlinear ordinary differential equation with time delay, the differentiation of the solution with respect to the delay is investigated. Special emphasis is laid on the second-order derivative. The results are applied to an associated optimization problem for the time delay. A first- and second-order sensitivity analysis is performed including an adjoint calculus that avoids the second derivative of the state with respect to the delay.
