This paper presents a numerical method based on quasilinearization and rationalized Haar functions for solving nonlinear optimal control problems including terminal state constraints, state and control inequality constraints. The optimal control problem is converted into a sequence of quadratic programming problems. The rationalized Haar functions with unknown coefficients are used to approxima...

We present the numerical solutions for the PDE-constrained optimization problem arising in cardiac electrophysiology, that is, the optimal control problem of monodomain model. The optimal control problem of monodomain model is a nonlinear optimization problem that is constrained by the monodomain model. The monodomain model consists of a parabolic partial differential equation coupled to a syst...

The problem of performance optimization of a maneuvering re-entry vehicle is studied. The objective is to determine an optimal steering law for a high lift-to-drag ratio vehicle. An optimization criteria is derived that attempts to maximize the control margin of the vehicle in order to account for unmodeled perturbations during actual flight. The optimization problem is formulated as an optimal...

In this paper, the time-optimal control problem for infinite order hyperbolic systems in which time delays appear in the integral form both in state equations and in boundary conditions is considered. Optimal controls are characterized in terms of an adjoint system and shown to be unique and bang-bang. These results extend to certain cases of nonlinear control problems. The particular propertie...

In this paper we present an energy shaping control law for set-point regulation of the Chaplygin sleigh. It is well known that nonholonomic mechanical systems cannot be asymptotically stabilised using smooth control laws as they do no satisfy Brockett’s necessary condition for smooth stabilisation. Here, we propose a discontinuous control law that can be seen as a potential energy shaping and d...

We consider a seller who owns two capacity constrained resources and markets two products (components) corresponding to these resources as well as a bundle comprising the two components. In an environment where all customers agree that one of the two components is of higher quality than the other and that the bundle is of the highest quality, we derive the seller’s optimal bundling strategy. We...
