first riccati equation with matrix variable coefficients, arising in optimal and robust control approach, is considered. an analytical approximation of the solution of nonlinear differential riccati equation is investigated using the adomian decomposition method. an application in optimal control is presented. the solution in different order of approximations and different methods of approximat...

most of authors (1-7) have used discontinious methods based on trial and error procedures for determination of optimum distribution of kh and ?h. optimal control theory has not been used for gas reservoirs. hence, in this paper optimal control theory is utilized for mathematical simulation of gas reservoir and optimum distributions of kh and ?h are presented. one of themain advantages of this n...

In a previous paper [1] we have proven a geometric formulation of the maximum principle for time dependent optimal control problems with fixed endpoint conditions. As a side result we obtained a necessary and sufficient condition for a control to be a (strictly) abnormal extremal. As an application of that result we consider in this paper two known examples of optimal control systems having abn...

The objective of the present research is to make use of optimal control theory to solve a serious environment and transportation problem.

A dynamic state feedback control stmcture is proposed in this paper. The scheme is conceived as an adaptive controller with the equilibrium in an LgV control law as the uncertain parameter, which allows the implementation of the controller for systems with unknown equilibnum. A new property of LgV controllers is given, and it is proven that this and other important properties carry on to the pr...

The aim of this work is to motivate the use of linear flatness, or controllability, to design a feedback control law for the rather challenging mechanism known as the ‘Furuta pendulum’. This is achieved by introducing three feedback controller design options for the stabilization and rest-to-rest trajectory tracking tasks: a direct pole placement approach, a hierarchical high-gain approach and ...
