This paper considers the optimal control for hybrid systems whose trajectories transition between distinct subsystems when state-dependent constraints are satisfied. Though this class of systems is useful while modeling a variety of…

We address a class of systems for which the solution to an H-infinity optimal control problem can be given on a very simple closed form. In fact, both the control law and optimal performance value are explicitly given. The class of systems…

H-infinity optimal control and estimation are addressed for a class of systems governed by partial differential equations with bounded input and output operators. Diffusion equations are an important example in this class. Explicit formulas…

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…

We present a novel class of minimax optimal control problems with positive dynamics, linear objective function and homogeneous constraints. The proposed problem class can be analyzed with dynamic programming and an explicit solution to the…

Networks constructed out of resistors, inductors, capacitors and transformers form a compelling subclass of simple models. Models constructed out of these basic elements are frequently used to explain phenomena in large-scale applications,…

We consider a stochastic control problem where the set of strict (classical) controls is not necessarily convex, and the system is governed by a nonlinear backward stochastic differential equation. By introducing a new approach, we…

A fundamental concept in control theory is that of controllability, where any system state can be reached through an appropriate choice of control inputs. Indeed, a large body of classical and modern approaches are designed for controllable…

We consider the problem of designing a feedback controller for a multivariable linear time-invariant system which regulates an arbitrary system output to the solution of an equality-constrained convex optimization problem despite unknown…

We extend the convergence analysis for methods solving PDE-constrained optimal control problems containing both discrete and continuous control decisions based on relaxation and rounding strategies to the class of first order semilinear…

We introduce the optimality question to the relaxation in multiple control problems described by Sobolev type nonlinear fractional differential equations with nonlocal control conditions in Banach spaces. Moreover, we consider the…

The present paper deals with the data-driven design of regularizers in the form of artificial neural networks, for solving certain inverse problems formulated as optimal control problems. These regularizers aim at improving accuracy,…

This paper considers the problem of regulating a dynamical system to equilibria that are defined as solutions of an input- and state-constrained optimization problem. To solve this regulation task, we design a state feedback controller…

In optimal control problems, disturbances are typically dealt with using robust solutions, such as H-infinity or tube model predictive control, that plan control actions feasible for the worst-case disturbance. Yet, planning for every…

This article treats three problems of sparse and optimal multiplexing a finite ensemble of linear control systems. Given an ensemble of linear control systems, multiplexing of the controllers consists of an algorithm that selects, at each…

Large-scale networked systems typically operate under resource constraints, and it is also difficult to exactly obtain the network structure between nodes. To address these issues, this paper investigates a sparse optimal control for…

This paper discusses the systematic design of an adaptive feedback linearizing neurocontroller for a high-order model of the synchronous machine/infinite bus power system. The power system is first modelled as an input-output nonlinear…

We consider optimal control problems for systems governed by mean-field stochastic differential equations, where the control enters both the drift and the diffusion coefficient. We study the relaxed model, in which admissible controls are…

We present a numerically tractable formulation for computing the optimal control of the class of hybrid dynamical systems whose trajectories are continuous. Our formulation, an extension of existing relaxed-control techniques for switched…

We use convex relaxation techniques to produce lower bounds on the optimal value of subset selection problems and generate good approximate solutions. We then explicitly bound the quality of these relaxations by studying the approximation…
