Control Theory and Economic Policy Optimization: The Origin, Achievements and the Fading Optimism from a Historical Standpoint [PDF]
International Journal of Business and Development Studies, 2015 Economists were interested in economic stabilization policies as early as the 1930’s but the formal applications of stability theory from the classical control theory to economic analysis appeared in the early 1950’s when a number of control engineers ...

Theory of Optimal Control Using Bisimulations [PDF]
, 2000 We consider the synthesis of optimal controls for continuous feedback systems by recasting the problem to a hybrid optimal control problem: to synthesize optimal enabling conditions for switching between locations in which the control is constant. An algorithmic solution is obtained by translating the hybrid automaton to a finite automaton using a ...

An optimal control theory approach to non-pharmaceutical interventions
BMC Infectious Diseases, 2010 Background Non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPI) are the first line of defense against pandemic influenza. These interventions dampen virus spread by reducing contact between infected and susceptible persons.

Symbolic computation of variational symmetries in optimal control [PDF]
, 2006 We use a computer algebra system to compute, in an efficient way, optimal control variational symmetries up to a gauge term. The symmetries are then used to obtain families of Noether's first integrals, possibly in the presence of nonconservative ...

Optimal control with memory effects: theory and application to wings
, 2019 A novel indirect variational optimal control theory is proposed for integral-differential equations of motion. This algorithm is applied to an engineering application: the control of a an underawater autonomous vehicle's 2-Dof lifting surface.

Age-structured models and optimal control in mathematical equidemiology: a survey [PDF]
, 2010 In this chapter we shall discuss the use of both optimal control theory and age-structured epidemic models in mathematical epidemiology. We use a very broad definition of optimal control, for example mathematical models for control by vaccination, as ...
