The optimal control of passive systems in equilibrium typically favours quasistatic (infinite-time) protocols. We show that a breakdown of quasistatic optimality occurs when the controller itself is dissipative. Concretely, we study a…

We consider Cauchy problem for a divergence form second order parabolic operator with rapidly oscillating coefficients that are periodic in spatial variable and random stationary ergodic in time. As was proved in [25] and [13] in this case…
We consider an optimal control problem where the state equations are a coupled hyperbolic-elliptic system. This system arises in elastodynamics with piezoelectric effects -- the elastic stress tensor is a function of elastic displacement…
In this paper, we present some properties of time optimal controls for linear ODEs with the ball-type control constraint. More precisely, for an optimal control, we build up an upper bound for the number of its switching points; show that…
Homotopy methods are attractive due to their capability of solving difficult optimisation and optimal control problems. The underlying idea is to construct a homotopy, which may be considered as a continuous (zero) curve between the…
