In this paper we study the half-linear differential equation ( r(t)Φp(x ′) ) ′ + c(t)Φp(x) = 0, where Φp(x) = |x|p−2x, p > 1. Using modified Riccati technique and suitable local estimates for terms in modified Riccati equation we derive new characterization of principal solution and new nonoscillation criteria.

This paper studies the properties of solutions of the Riccati equation arising from the quadratic optimal control problem of the general damped second order system. Using the semigroup theory, we establish the weak differential characterization of the Riccati equation for a general class of the second order distributed systems with arbitrary damping terms.

This paper analytically solves the Riccati equation of discrete optimal control with two targets and one tool. This is accomplished by reducing the problem to a nonlinear univariate dynamic equation; this can be solved by a suitable transformation of variable. Beyond its direct application to two-target economic problems, the present approach may provide insight toward the eventual solution of ...

The linear quadratic (LQ) optimal control problem is studied for a partial differential equation model of a time-varying plug flow tubular reactor. First some properties of the linearized model around a specific equilibrium profile are studied. Next, an LQ-control feedback is computed by using the corresponding operator Riccati differential equation, whose solution can be obtained via a related...

We consider multi-grid, or more appropriately, multi-level techniques for the numerical solution of operator Lyapunov and algebraic Riccati equations. The Riccati equation, which is quadratic, plays an essential role in the solution of linear-quadratic optimal control problems. The linear Lyapunov equation is important in the stability theory for linear systems and its solution is the primary s...

in this paper a modification of he's variational iteration method (vim) has been employed to solve dung and riccati equations. sometimes, it is not easy or even impossible, to obtain the first few iterations of vim, therefore, we suggest to approximate the integrand by using suitable expansions such as taylor or chebyshev expansions.

In recent years, several bounds have been reported for different measures of the “extent” or “size” of the solution of the algebraic matrix equation arising in control theory, such as the Riccati equation and the Lyapunov equation. This paper collects the bounds that have been presented up to now and summarizes them in an unified form. This will prove particularly convenient for those wishing t...

Canonical factorization of a rational matrix function on the unit circle is described explicitly in terms of a stabilizing solution of a discrete algebraic Riccati equation using a special state space representation of the symbol. The corresponding Riccati difference equation is also discussed. Mathematics Subject Classification (2010). Primary 47A68, 15A24; Secondary 47B35, 42A58, 39A99.
