This work concentrates on a class of optimal control problems for semilinear parabolic equations subject to control constraint of the form $\|u(t)\|_{L^1(\Omega)} \le \gamma$ for $t \in (0,T)$. This limits the total control that can be…
This paper studies the continuous-time dynamics generated by control-theoretic Lagrangian methods for equality-constrained optimization. In particular, we consider dynamics induced by proportional-integral and feedback linearization…
Optimal control problems with discrete-valued inputs are inherently challenging due to their mixed-integer nature, rendering them generally intractable for real-time, safety-critical aerospace applications. Lossless convexification offers a…
In this article, we derive first-order necessary optimality conditions for a constrained optimal control problem formulated in the Wasserstein space of probability measures. To this end, we introduce a new notion of localised metric…
We discuss several optimization procedures to solve finite element approximations of linear-quadratic Dirichlet optimal control problems governed by an elliptic partial differential equation posed on a 2D or 3D Lipschitz domain. The control…
This paper investigates optimal control problems formulated over a class of piecewise-smooth vector fields. Instead of optimizing over the discontinuous system directly, we instead formulate optimal control problems over a family of…
A non-convex control system governed by a nonlinear impulsive evolution equation of Hilfer fractional order in a Banach space is considered. The existence of admissible state-control pair is established. Then the introduction of suitable…
Optimal control of the singular nonlinear parabolic PDE which is a distributional formulation of multidimensional and multiphase Stefan-type free boundary problem is analyzed. Approximating sequence of finite-dimensional optimal control…
This work presents a convex-optimization-based framework for analysis and control of nonlinear partial differential equations. The approach uses a particular weak embedding of the nonlinear PDE, resulting in a linear equation in the space…
In the contest of optimal control problems, regularity results for optima are known when addressing fiber-strictly convex Lagrangian. For infinite time horizons, or for settings with infinite dimensional dynamics, the equivalence between…
This paper is devoted to the theoretical and numerical investigation of an augmented Lagrangian method for the solution of optimization problems with geometric constraints. Specifically, we study situations where parts of the constraints…
An optimal control problem on finite-dimensional positive cones is stated. Under a critical assumption on the cone, the corresponding Bellman equation is satisfied by a linear function, which can be computed by convex optimization. A…
We consider optimal control problems for partial differential equations where the controls take binary values but vary over the time horizon, they can thus be seen as dynamic switches. The switching patterns may be subject to combinatorial…
In this paper we study the conditioning of optimal control problems constrained by linear parabolic equations with Neumann boundary conditions. While we concentrate on a given end-time target function the results hold also when the target…
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 show how the solution to NMPC problems for a special type of input-affine discrete-time systems can be obtained by reformulating the underlying non-convex optimal control problem in terms of a finite number of convex subproblems. The…
A tracking type optimal control problem for a nonlinear and nonlocal kinetic Fokker-Planck equation which arises as the mean field limit of an interacting particle systems that is subject to distance dependent random fluctuations is…
We investigate the use of optimization to compute bounds for extremal performance measures. This approach takes a non-parametric viewpoint that aims to alleviate the issue of model misspecification possibly encountered by conventional…
This contribution considers optimal control problems subject to nonlocal conservation laws -- those in which the velocity depends nonlocally (i.e., via a convolution) on the solution -- and the so-called singular limit. First, the existence…
We investigate optimal control of dynamical systems which are affine, i.e., linear in control, but nonlinear in state. The control task is to enforce the system state to follow a prescribed desired trajectory as closely as possible, a task…
