Explicit Solution of the Average-Cost Optimality Equation for a Pest-Control Problem

چکیده

We introduce a Markov decision process in continuous time for the optimal control of a simple symmetrical immigration-emigration process by the introduction of total catastrophes. It is proved that a particular control-limit policy is average cost optimal within the class of all stationary policies by verifying that the relative values of this policy are the solution of the corresponding optimality equation.

One-for-One Period Policy and its Optimal Solution

In this paper we introduce the optimal solution for a simple and yet practical inventory policy with the important characteristic which eliminates the uncertainty in demand for suppliers. In this new policy which is different from the classical inventory policies, the time interval between any two consecutive orders is fixed and the quantity of each order is one. Assuming the fixed ordering cos...

On the optimality equation for average cost Markov decision processes and its validity for inventory control

As is well known, average-cost optimality inequalities imply the existence of stationary optimal policies for Markov decision processes with average costs per unit time, and these inequalities hold under broad natural conditions. This paper provides sufficient conditions for the validity of the average-cost optimality equation for an infinite state problem with weakly continuous transition prob...

The Exact Solution of Min-Time Optimal Control Problem in Constrained LTI Systems: A State Transition Matrix Approach

In this paper, the min-time optimal control problem is mainly investigated in the linear time invariant (LTI) continuous-time control system with a constrained input. A high order dynamical LTI system is firstly considered for this purpose. Then the Pontryagin principle and some necessary optimality conditions have been simultaneously used to solve the optimal control problem. These optimality ...

A New Optimal Solution Concept for Fuzzy Optimal Control Problems

In this paper, we propose the new concept of optimal solution for fuzzy variational problems based on the possibility and necessity measures. Inspired by the well–known embedding theorem, we can transform the fuzzy variational problem into a bi–objective variational problem. Then the optimal solutions of fuzzy variational problem can be obtained by solving its corresponding biobjective variatio...

A NEW APPROACH TO THE SOLUTION OF SENSITIVITY MINIMIZATION IN LINEAR STATE FEEDBACK CONTROL

In this paper, it is shown that by exploiting the explicit parametric state feedback solution, it is feasible to obtain the ultimate solution to minimum sensitivity problem. A numerical algorithm for construction of a robust state feedback in eigenvalue assignment problem for a controllable linear system is presented.
