An interesting family of geometric integrators for Lagrangian systems can be defined using discretizations of the Hamilton's principle of critical action. This family of geometric integrators is called variational integrators. In this…

We consider a one dimensional elliptic distributed optimal control problem with pointwise constraints on the derivative of the state. By exploiting the variational inequality satisfied by the derivative of the optimal state, we obtain…

Retractions maps are used to define a discretization of the tangent bundle of the configuration manifold as two copies of the configuration manifold where the dynamics take place. Such discretization maps can be conveniently lifted to a…

We consider optimal control problems, where the control appears in the main part of the operator. We derive the Pontryagin maximum principle as a necessary optimality condition. The proof uses the concept of topological derivatives. In…

We review recent results obtained to solve fractional order optimal control problems with free terminal time and a dynamic constraint involving integer and fractional order derivatives. Some particular cases are studied in detail. A…

The aim of this work is to study, from an intrinsic and geometric point of view, second-order constrained variational problems on Lie algebroids, that is, optimization problems defined by a cost functional which depends on higher-order…

A method of optimal control computation is proposed for problems with control and state constraints. It uses a sequence of control structure adjustments in the form of generations and reductions of nodes and arcs, which do not change the…

This paper discusses the problem of assembly line control and introduces an optimal control formulation that can be used to improve the performance of the assembly line, in terms of cycle time minimization, resources' utilization, etc. A…

This chapter presents some numerical methods to solve problems in the fractional calculus of variations and fractional optimal control. Although there are plenty of methods available in the literature, we concentrate mainly on approximating…

Discrete control systems, as considered here, refer to the control theory of discrete-time Lagrangian or Hamiltonian systems. These discrete-time models are based on a discrete variational principle, and are part of the broader field of…

We consider a class of optimal control problems on networks that generically permits a reduction to a universal set of reference problems without differential constraints that may be solved analytically. The derivation shows that input…

The optimal control of a mechanical system is of crucial importance in many realms. Typical examples are the determination of a time-minimal path in vehicle dynamics, a minimal energy trajectory in space mission design, or optimal motion…

The goal of this paper is to solve a class of stochastic optimal control problems numerically, in which the state process is governed by an It\^o type stochastic differential equation with control process entering both in the drift and the…

This paper presents an efficient numerical method for solving fractional optimal control problems using an operational matrix for a fractional wavelet. Using well-known formulae such as Caputo and Riemann-Liouville operators to determine…

We consider the numerical approximation of variational problems with orthotropic growth, that is those where the integrand depends strongly on the coordinate directions with possibly different growth in each direction. Under realistic…

We geometrically describe optimal control problems in terms of Morse families in the Hamiltonian framework. These geometric structures allow us to recover the classical first order necessary conditions for optimality and the starting point…

We present and analyze a new method for solving optimal control problems for Volterra integral equations, based on approximating the controlled Volterra integral equations by a sequence of systems of controlled ordinary differential…

We consider control-constrained linear-quadratic optimal control problems on evolving surfaces. In order to formulate well-posed problems, we prove existence and uniqueness of weak solutions for the state equation, in the sense of…

In this paper we consider mean-field optimal control problems with selective action of the control, where the constraint is a continuity equation involving a non-local term and diffusion. First order optimality conditions are formally…

A geometric setup for control theory is presented. The argument is developed through the study of the extremals of action functionals defined on piecewise differentiable curves, in the presence of differentiable non-holonomic constraints.…
