Strong Optimality for a Bang-Bang Trajectory

In this paper we give sufficient conditions for a bang-bang regular extremal to be a strong local optimum for a control problem in the Mayer form; strong means that we consider the C0 topology in the state space. The controls appear linearly and take values in a polyhedron, and the state space and the end point constraints are finite-dimensional smooth manifolds. In the case of bang-bang extrem...

Modeling of Jitter Characteristics for the Second Order Bang-Bang CDR

Bang-Bang clock and data recovery (BBCDR) circuits are hard nonlinear systems due to the nonlinearity introduced by the binary phase detector (BPD). The specification of the CDR frequency response is determined by jitter tolerance and jitter transfer. In this paper, jitter transfer and jitter tolerance of the second-order BBCDR are characterized by formulating the time domain waveforms. As a re...

Strong Local Optimality for a Bang-Bang Trajectory in a Mayer Problem

This paper gives sufficient conditions for a class of bang-bang extremals with multiple switches to be locally optimal in the strong topology. The conditions are the natural generalizations of the ones considered in [5, 13] and [16]. We require both the strict bang-bang Legendre condition, and the second order conditions for the finite dimensional problem obtained by moving the switching times ...

An algorithm for bang-bang control of fixed-head hydroplants

This paper deals with the optimal control problem that arise when a hydraulic system with fixed-head hydroplants is considered. In the frame of a deregulated electricity market the resulting Hamiltonian for such systems is linear in the control variable and results in an optimal singular/bang-bang control policy. To avoid difficulties associated with the computation of optimal singular/bang-ban...
