We provide two new methods for computing lower bounds of eigenvalues of symmetric elliptic second-order differential operators with mixed boundary conditions of Dirichlet, Neumann, and Robin type. The methods generalize ideas of Weinstein's…
In this work we present new results on the cost of the boundary controllability of parabolic systems at time $T > 0$. In particular, we will study optimal estimates of the control cost at time $T$ ($T$ small enough) when the eigenvalues of…
This paper aims at an accurate and efficient computation of effective quantities, e.g., the homogenized coefficients for approximating the solutions to partial differential equations with oscillatory coefficients. Typical multiscale methods…
In this paper, we focus on a method based on optimal control to address the optimization problem. The objective is to find the optimal solution that minimizes the objective function. We transform the optimization problem into optimal…
The paper deals with the problem of optimization of a guaranteed (worst case) result for a control system described by an ordinary differential equation. The disturbances as functions of time are subject to functional constraints belonging…
The KWC system is a well-known generic framework for phase-field models of grain boundary motion, whose original formulation is given as a parabolic gradient flow of a free energy. In the original KWC system, the results of uniqueness have…
The paper presents results about strong metric subregularity of the optimality mapping associated with the system of first-order necessary optimality conditions for a problem of optimal control of a semilinear parabolic equation. The…
In this paper, we develop a provably correct optimal control strategy for a finite deterministic transition system. By assuming that penalties with known probabilities of occurrence and dynamics can be sensed locally at the states of the…
A method is presented for the numerical solution of optimal boundary control problems governed by parabolic partial differential equations. The continuous space-time optimal control problem is transcribed into a sparse nonlinear programming…
We consider homogenization problems in the framework of deterministic optimal control when the dynamics and running costs are completely different in two (or more) complementary domains of the space $\R^N$. For such optimal control…
A purely state-dependent cost function can be modified by introducing a control-dependent term rewarding submaximal control utilization. A moderation incentive is identically zero on the boundary of the admissible control region and…
We present the conditions under which the time-optimal control problem for a nonlinear non-autonomous linearizable system can be solved by the method of successive approximations, at each step of which a power Markov moment min-problem is…
This paper introduces a novel approach to the optimal control of linear discrete-time systems subject to bounded disturbances. Our approach is based on the newly established duality between ellipsoidal approximations of reachable and hardly…
We propose a semi-discrete numerical scheme and establish well-posedness of a class of parabolic systems. Such systems naturally arise while studying the optimal control of grain boundary motions. The latter is typically described using a…
In this paper, we employ a reduced basis method for solving the PDE constrained optimization problem governed by a fractional parabolic equation with the fractional derivative in time from order beta in (0,1) is defined by Caputo fractional…
An optimal control problem for semilinear parabolic partial differential equations is considered. The control variable appears in the leading term of the equation. Necessary conditions for optimal controls are established by the method of…
In this paper, error estimates are presented for a certain class of optimal control problems with elliptic PDE-constraints. It is assumed that in the cost functional the state is measured in terms of the energy norm generated by the state…
We study linear-quadratic stochastic optimal control problems with bilinear state dependence for which the underlying stochastic differential equation (SDE) consists of slow and fast degrees of freedom. We show that, in the same way in…
In this paper we present a reformulation--framed as a constrained optimization problem--of multi-robot tasks which are encoded through a cost function that is to be minimized. The advantages of this approach are multiple. The…
We consider a distributed optimal control problem subject to a parabolic evolution equation as constraint. The control will be considered in the energy norm of the anisotropic Sobolev space $[H_{0;,0}^{1,1/2}(Q)]^\ast$, such that the state…
