AbstractA simple rigorous approach is given to finding boundary conditions for the adjoint differential equation in an optimal control problem. The boundary conditions for a time-optimal problem are calculated from the simpler conditions for a fixed-time problem.

The deterministic discrete-time optimal control problem for a finite optimization interval is considered. A solution is obtained in the z-domain by embedding the problem within a equivalent infinite time problem. The optimal controller is time-invariant and may be easily implemented. The controller is related to the solution of the usual infinite time optimal control problem due to Wiener. This new controller should be of value in self-tuning control laws where a finite interval controller is particularly important.

This paper addresses the problem of designing jerk limited time-optimal control profiles for rest-to-rest maneuvers of flexible structures. The variation of the structure of the jerk profile as a function of the permissible jerk is studied. An optimal control problem is formulated which includes constraints to cancel the poles corresponding to the rigid body and flexible modes of the system and to satisfy the boundary conditions of the rest-to-rest maneuver. The proposed technique is illustrated on the benchmark Floating Oscillator problem where the jerk profile is parameterized as a bang-off-bang or bang-bang profile.

We consider an optimal control problem for the Navier–Stokes system with Navier slip boundary conditions. We denote by α the friction coefficient and we analyze the asymptotic behavior of such a problem as α → ∞. More precisely, we prove that if we take an optimal control for each α, then there exists a sequence of optimal controls converging to an optimal control of the same optimal control problem for the Navier–Stokes system with the Dirichlet boundary condition. We also show the convergence of the corresponding direct and adjoint states.

We study a variant of the classical safe landing optimal control problem in aerospace engineering, introduced by Miele in 1962, where the target was to land a spacecraft on the moon by minimizing the consumption of fuel. A more modern model consists in replacing the spacecraft by a hybrid gas-electric drone. Assuming that the drone has a failure and that the thrust (representing the control) can act in both vertical directions, the new target is to land safely by minimizing time, no matter of what the consumption is. In dependence of the initial data (height, velocity, and fuel), we prove that the optimal control can be of four different kinds, all being piecewise constant. Our analysis covers all possible situations, including the nonexistence of a safe landing strategy due to the lack of fuel or for heights/velocities for which also a total braking is insufficient to stop the drone.
