In this work, we will investigate the question of optimal control for bilinear systems with constrained endpoint. The optimal control will be characterized through a set of unconstrained minimization problems that approximate the former.…
Initially introduced in the framework of quantum control, the so-called "monotonic algorithms" have demonstrated excellent numerical performance when dealing with bilinear optimal control problems. This paper presents a unified formulation…

We study a class of structured optimal control problems in which the main diagonal of the dynamic matrix is a linear function of the design variable. While such problems are in general challenging and nonconvex, for positive systems we…
We consider the problem of finite-horizon optimal control design under uncertainty for imperfectly observed discrete-time systems with convex costs and constraints. It is known that this problem can be cast as an infinite-dimensional convex…
In this paper, we consider the problem of multi-objective optimal control of a dynamical system with additive and multiplicative noises with given second moments and arbitrary probability distributions. The objectives are given by quadratic…
Optimal controller synthesis is a bilinear problem and hence difficult to solve in a computationally efficient manner. We are able to resolve this bilinearity for systems with delay by first convexifying the problem in infinite-dimensions -…

Often considered in numerical simulations related to the control of quantum systems, the so-called monotonic schemes have not been so far much studied from the functional analysis point of view. Yet, these procedures provide an efficient…
This paper considers optimal control problems defined by a monotone dynamical system, a monotone cost, and monotone constraints. We identify families of such problems for which the optimal solution is bang-ride, i.e., always operates on the…

An iterative learning algorithm is presented for continuous-time linear-quadratic optimal control problems where the system is externally symmetric with unknown dynamics. Both finite-horizon and infinite-horizon problems are considered. It…
