Contact geometry of the Pontryagin maximum principle [PDF]

open access: yesAutomatica, 2015
This paper gives a brief contact-geometric account of the Pontryagin maximum principle. We show that key notions in the Pontryagin maximum principle---such as the separating hyperplanes, costate, necessary condition, and normal/abnormal minimizers---have natural contact-geometric interpretations.

Energy Efficient and Safe Control Strategy for Electric Vehicles Including Driver Preference

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2021
In this manuscript, a control strategy for electric vehicles is developed to optimise the energy consumption while respecting constraints associated with both inter-vehicle safety and comfort, which is a challenge in typical optimal control solution ...

The Maximum Principle of Pontryagin in Control of Twolegged Robot Based on Human Walking System

open access: yesInternational Journal of Applied Mechanics and Engineering, 2014
In the paper a hypothesis about state equations of human gait is presented. Instantaneous normalized power developed by human muscles at particular joints of a leg is a control vector in state equations of the human walking system.

Evaporation of liquid under acoustic-vacuum exposure

open access: yesCase Studies in Thermal Engineering, 2021
The theory of optimal control used is based on the Pontryagin maximum principle under the acoustic-vacuum exposure affecting the liquid evaporation process in an experimental container.

Necessary and Sufficient Conditions of Optimality for a Damped Hyperbolic Equation in One-Space Dimension

open access: yesAbstract and Applied Analysis, 2014
The present paper deals with the necessary optimality condition for a class of distributed parameter systems in which the system is modeled in one-space dimension by a hyperbolic partial differential equation subject to the damping and mixed constraints ...

Time-Optimal Control Problem of Two Non-Synchronous Oscillators

open access: yesMathematics, 2022
The time-optimal control problem for a system consisting of two non-synchronous oscillators is considered. Each oscillator is controlled with a shared limited scalar control. The objective of the control is to accelerate the oscillatory system to a given

A Pareto–Pontryagin Maximum Principle for Optimal Control

open access: yesSymmetry, 2022
In this paper, an attempt to unify two important lines of thought in applied optimization is proposed. We wish to integrate the well-known (dynamic) theory of Pontryagin optimal control with the Pareto optimization (of the static type), involving the maximization/minimization of a non-trivial number of functions or functionals, Pontryagin optimal ...

Continuous-Time Portfolio Selection: A Cursory Survey

open access: yesFrontiers in Applied Mathematics and Statistics, 2020
In this article we provide a short survey on continuous-time portfolio selection. We explain the pioneering contribution of Merton and the use of dynamic programming.

Global search algorithm for optimal control [PDF]

open access: yes, 1970
Random-search algorithm employs local and global properties to solve two-point boundary value problem in Pontryagin maximum principle for either fixed or variable end-time problems. Mixed boundary value problem is transformed to an initial value problem.

Optimal Control Problems of Forward-Backward Stochastic Volterra Integral Equations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Optimal control problems of forward-backward stochastic Volterra integral equations (FBSVIEs in short) are formulated and studied. A general duality principle is established for linear backward stochastic integral equation and linear stochastic Fredholm ...
