  • a linear quadratic Optimal Control Problem for mean field stochastic differential equations in infinite horizon
    Mathematical Control and Related Fields, 2015
    Co-Authors: Jianhui Huang, Jiongmin Yong
    Abstract:

    A linear-quadratic (LQ, for short) Optimal Control Problem is considered for mean-field stochastic differential equations with constant coefficients in an infinite horizon. The stabilizability of the Control system is studied followed by the discussion of the well-posedness of the LQ Problem. The Optimal Control can be expressed as a linear state feedback involving the state and its mean, through the solutions of two algebraic Riccati equations. The solvability of such kind of Riccati equations is investigated by means of semi-definite programming method.

  • a deterministic linear quadratic time inconsistent Optimal Control Problem
    arXiv: Optimization and Control, 2012
    Co-Authors: Jiongmin Yong
    Abstract:

    A time-inconsistent Optimal Control Problem is formulated and studied for a Controlled linear ordinary differential equation with quadratic cost functional. A notion of equilibrium Control is introduced, which can be regarded as a time-consistent solution to the original time-inconsistent Problem. Under certain conditions, we constructively prove the existence of such an equilibrium Control which is represented via a forward ordinary differential equation coupled with a backward Riccati--Volterra integral equation. Our constructive approach is based on the introduction of a family of $N$-person non-cooperative differential games.

  • a deterministic linear quadratic time inconsistent Optimal Control Problem
    Mathematical Control and Related Fields, 2011
    Co-Authors: Jiongmin Yong
    Abstract:

    A time-inconsistent Optimal Control Problem is formulated and studied for a Controlled linear ordinary differential equation with a quadratic cost functional. A notion of time-consistent equilibrium strategy is introduced for the original time-inconsistent Problem. Under certain conditions, we construct an equilibrium strategy which can be represented via a Riccati--Volterra integral equation system. Our approach is based on a study of multi-person hierarchical differential games.

  • a convergent adaptive edge element method for an Optimal Control Problem in magnetostatics
    Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis, 2017
    Co-Authors: Jun Zou
    Abstract:

    This work is concerned with an adaptive edge element solution of an Optimal Control Problem associated with a magnetostatic saddle-point Maxwell’s system. An a posteriori error estimator of the residue type is derived for the lowest-order edge element approximation of the Problem and proved to be both reliable and efficient. With the estimator and a general marking strategy, we propose an adaptive edge element method, which is demonstrated to generate a sequence of discrete solutions converging strongly to the exact solution satisfying the resulting Optimality conditions and guarantee a vanishing limit of the error estimator.

  • on the existence and uniqueness of the solution of a parabolic Optimal Control Problem with uncertain inputs
    arXiv: Optimization and Control, 2018
    Co-Authors: Peter Benner, Akwum Onwunta, Martin Stoll
    Abstract:

    In this note, we consider the existence and uniqueness of the solution of a time-dependent Optimal Control Problem constrained by a partial differential equation with uncertain inputs. Relying on the Lions' Lemma for deterministic Problems, we furthermore characterize the Optimal Control of the stochastic Problem.

  • an isoperimetric Optimal Control Problem for a non isothermal chemical reactor with periodic inputs
    Chemical Engineering Science, 2017
    Co-Authors: Alexander Zuyev, Andreas Seidelmorgenstern, Peter Benner
    Abstract:

    Abstract In this paper, we study the Optimal Control Problem for a continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) that represents a reaction of the type “ A  → product”. The reactor dynamics is described by a nonlinear system of ordinary differential equations Controlled by two inputs: the inlet concentration and the inlet temperature. We formulate the Problem of maximizing the average product of this reactor for a fixed consumption of the input component over a period of time. This kind of isoperimetric Optimal Control Problem is analyzed by using the Pontryagin maximum principle with Lagrange multipliers. We show that the Optimal Controls are bang-bang and propose an upper bound for the number of switchings for the linearized Problem with periodic boundary conditions. Numerical simulations confirm that our Control strategy can be used to improve the reactor performance over a specified period of time in comparison to the steady-state operation.
