We apply the theory of optimal control to the dynamics of two "gmon" qubits, with the goal of preparing a desired entangled ground state from an initial unentangled one. Given an initial state, a target state, and a Hamiltonian with a set…

We consider an infinite-horizon optimal control problem with an asymptotic terminal constraint. For the the weakly overtaking criterion and the overtaking criterion, necessary boundary conditions on co-state arcs are deduced, these…

We study a driftless system on a three-dimensional manifold driven by two scalar controls. We assume that each scalar control has an independent bound on its modulus and we prove that, locally around every point where the controlled vector…

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.…

We address the issue of minimal time optimal control of fedbatch reactor in presence of complex non monotonic kinetics, that can be typically characterized by the combination of two Haldane models. The optimal synthesis may present several…

In this paper we We propose GoPRONTO, a first-order, feedback-based approach to solve nonlinear discrete-time optimal control problems. This method is a generalized first-order framework based on incorporating the original dynamics into a…

In this paper, we investigate the minimal time problem for the guidance of a rocket, whose motion is described by its attitude kinematics and dynamics but also by its orbit dynamics. Our approach is based on a refined geometric study of the…

The turnpike phenomenon stipulates that the solution of an optimal control problem in large time, remains essentially close to a steady-state of the dynamics, itself being the optimal solution of an associated static optimal control…

In this paper, we study a class of fractional optimal control problems. A necessary condition for the existence of an optimal control is provided in the literature. It is commonly given as the existence of a solution of a fractional…

We derive necessary conditions for optimality in control problems governed by hyperbolic partial differential equations in Goursat-Darboux form. The conditions consist of a set of Hamiltonian equations in Goursat form, side conditions for…

We propose a sampling-based trajectory optimization methodology for constrained problems. We extend recent works on stochastic search to deal with box control constraints,as well as nonlinear state constraints for discrete dynamical…

We study the selective and robust time-optimal rotation control of several spin-1/2 particles with different offset terms. For that purpose, the Pontryagin Maximum Principle is applied to a model of two spins, which is simple enough for…

We study a class of optimal control problems governed by nonlinear stochastic equations of monotone type under certain coercivity and linear growth conditions. We give first order necessary conditions of optimality. A stochastic Pontryagin…

We study in optimal control the important relation between invariance of the problem under a family of transformations, and the existence of preserved quantities along the Pontryagin extremals. Several extensions of Noether theorem are…

The fundamental theorem of the theory of optimal control, the Pontryagin maximum principle (PMP), is extended to the setting of almost Lie (AL) algebroids, geometrical objects generalizing Lie algebroids. This formulation of the PMP yields,…

This paper presents a novel factor graph-based approach to solve the discrete-time finite-horizon Linear Quadratic Regulator problem subject to auxiliary linear equality constraints within and across time steps. We represent such optimal…

This paper presents an analytical framework to study the geometry arising when a soft continuum arm grasps a planar object. Both the arm centerline and the object boundary are modeled as smooth curves. The grasping problem is formulated as…

The key element of the approach to the theory of necessary conditions in optimal control discussed in the paper is reduction of the original constrained problem to unconstrained minimization with subsequent application of a suitable…

The trajectory optimization of the atmospheric entry of a reusable launch vehicle is studied. The objective is to maximize the crossrange of the vehicle subject to two control-inequality path constraints, two state-inequality path…

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…
