A family of optimal control problems for a single and two coupled spinning particles in the Euler-Lagrange formalism is discussed. A characteristic of such problems is that the equations controlling the system are implicit and a reduction…
New definitions of $Q$-conditional symmetry for systems of PDEs are presented, which generalize the standard notation of non-classical (conditional) symmetry. It is shown that different types of $Q$-conditional symmetry of a system generate…
Mathematical programs with disjunctive constraints (MPDCs for short) cover several different problem classes from nonlinear optimization including complementarity-, vanishing-, cardinality-, and switching-constrained optimization problems.…
Application of IDA-PBC to mechanical systems has received much attention in recent decades, but its application is still limited by the solvability of the so-called matching conditions. In this work, it is shown that total energy-shaping…
Abstract dynamic programming models are used to analyze $\lambda$-policy iteration with randomization algorithms. Particularly, contractive models with infinite policies are considered and it is shown that well-posedness of the…
We derive new results regarding the controllability and the reachability of multitime controlled linear PDE systems of first order. These systems describe some important multitime evolution in engineering, economics and biology. Some of…
We consider bounded extremum seeking controls for time-varying linear systems with uncertain coefficient matrices and measurement uncertainty. Using a new change of variables, Lyapunov functions, and a comparison principle, we provide…
Collocated adaptive control of underactuated systems is still a main concern for the control community, all the more so because the collocated dynamics is no longer linear with respect to the constant base parameters. This work extends and…
The key challenges in design of predictor-based control laws for switched systems with arbitrary switching and long input delay are the potential unavailability of the future values of the switching signal (at current time) and the fact…
The stability of stochastic Model Predictive Control (MPC) subject to additive disturbances is often demonstrated in the literature by constructing Lyapunov-like inequalities that guarantee closed-loop performance bounds and boundedness of…
We consider a stochastic control problem where the set of controls is not necessarily convex and the system is governed by a nonlinear backward stochastic differential equation. We establish necessary as well as sufficient conditions of…
For linear control systems, the usual state feedback stabilizability has two components: one is a continuous observation mode (i.e., to observe solutions continuously in time), and the other is a class of feedback laws (which is usually the…
The main contributions of this paper are three fold. First, our primary concern is to investigate a class of stochastic recursive delayed control problems which arise naturally with sound backgrounds but have not been well-studied yet. For…
This paper presents a computationally efficient robust model predictive control law for discrete linear time invariant systems subject to additive disturbances that may depend on the state and/or input norms. Despite the dependency being…
This article develops variational integrators for a class of underactuated mechanical systems using the theory of discrete mechanics. Further, a discrete optimal control problem is formulated for the considered class of systems and…
We present the stability analysis for the new regulation-triggered approach to adaptive control introduced in a companion paper. Due to the fact that the closed-loop system is hybrid, our proofs have essential differences from the…
We study singular stochastic control of a two dimensional stochastic differential equation, where the first component is linear with random and unbounded coefficients. We derive existence of an optimal relaxed control and necessary…
This paper develops a comprehensive extension of the $\Lambda$-set framework for optimal control, introducing second-order $\Lambda$-sets and generalizing the theory to non-smooth, hybrid, and stochastic hybrid systems. We first establish…
In this paper we consider a class of semihamiltonian systems characterized by the existence of a special conservation law. The density and the current of this conservation law satisfy a second order system of PDEs which has a natural…
This paper provides a framework for deriving a new set of necessary conditions for adverse control problems among two players. The distinguish feature of such problems is that the first player has a priori knowledge on the second player…
