The HAMILTON-JACOBI TYPE EQUATIONS for NONLINEAR TARGET CONTROL and their APPROXIMATION
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper gives a comparison principle for first-order PDEs of the HamiltonJacobi-Bellman type that arise in problems of nonlinear target control synthesis and reachability analysis under hard bounds on the controls. The emphasis is is on treating backward reachability sets for a system with moving target sets which may also turn to be forward reachability tubes of another system. The target sets are to be reached within preassigned intervals. The exact solutions to this problem, given in set-theoretic terms as are expressed as level sets to the solutions of some specific types of the HJB equation. But these solutions require fairly complicated calculation. The present paper presents an alternative approach that avoids exact solutions in favor of their upper and lower bounds, which in many cases may suffice for solving the required problems. For systems with linear structure ellipsoidal estimates are given, which ensure accurate approximations of nonconvex reachability sets through unions of ellipsoids.

This paper presents an application of the nonlinear optimal control techniques to the design of launch vehicle autopilots. The optimal control is given by the solution to the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equation, which in this case cannot be solved explicity. A method based upon Successive Galerkin Approximation (SGA), is used to obtain an approximate optimal solution. Simulation results invo...
متن کاملNumerical Methods for Controlled Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman PDEs in Finance
Many nonlinear option pricing problems can be formulated as optimal control problems, leading to Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) or Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman-Isaacs (HJBI) equations. We show that such formulations are very convenient for developing monotone discretization methods which ensure convergence to the financially relevant solution, which in this case is the viscosity solution. In addition...
متن کاملon Breakthroughs in the Control of Nonlinear Systems
Nonlinear optimal control and nonlinear H 1 control are two of the most signiicant paradigms in nonlinear systems theory. Unfortunately , these problems require the solution of Hamilton-Jacobi equations which are extremely diicult to solve in practice. To make matters worst, approximation techniques for these equations are inherently prone to the so-called \curse of dimensionality." While there...

We describe an approximation scheme for a class of Hamilton-Jacobi equations associated to H1 control problems. We deene a sequence of discrete time nonlinear systems and we prove the equivalence between the discrete H1 control problem and an ergodic control problem. Then we show that the sequence of discrete H1 norms converges to the norm of the corresponding continuous problem both in the nit...
