On the Noether Invariance Principle for Constrained Optimal Control Problems
نویسنده
چکیده
Noether’s invariance principle is one of the most helpful and fundamental results of physics. It describes the universal fact that “invariance with respect to some family of parameter transformations gives rise to the existence of certain conserved quantities.” Such relation is used to explain everything from the fusion of hydrogen to the motion of planets orbiting the sun [6]. For a modern account of Noether’s invariance principle, in the context of the calculus of variations, we refer the reader to [1, 10]. Extensions for the unconstrained problems of optimal control are available in [8, 9]. Here we generalize the previous results

A Noether Theorem on Unimprovable Conservation Laws for Vector-Valued Optimization Problems in Control Theory
We obtain a version of Noether’s invariance theorem for optimal control problems with a finite number of cost functionals. The result is obtained by formulating E. Noether’s result to optimal control problems subject to isoperimetric constraints, and then using the unimprovable (Pareto) notion of optimality. A result of this kind was posed to the author, as a mathematical open question, of grea...
متن کاملPontryagin's Minimum Principle for Fuzzy Optimal Control Problems
The objective of this article is to derive the necessary optimality conditions, known as Pontryagin's minimum principle, for fuzzy optimal control problems based on the concepts of differentiability and integrability of a fuzzy mapping that may be parameterized by the left and right-hand functions of its $alpha$-level sets.
متن کاملThe Exact Solution of Min-Time Optimal Control Problem in Constrained LTI Systems: A State Transition Matrix Approach
In this paper, the min-time optimal control problem is mainly investigated in the linear time invariant (LTI) continuous-time control system with a constrained input. A high order dynamical LTI system is firstly considered for this purpose. Then the Pontryagin principle and some necessary optimality conditions have been simultaneously used to solve the optimal control problem. These optimality ...
متن کاملGauge Symmetries and Noether Currents in Optimal Control
Abstract. We extend the second Noether theorem to optimal control problems which are invariant under symmetries depending upon k arbitrary functions of the independent variable and their derivatives up to some order m. As far as we consider a semi-invariance notion, and the transformation group may also depend on the control variables, the result is new even in the classical context of the calc...
متن کاملCarathéodory-Equivalence, Noether Theorems, and Tonelli Full-Regularity in the Calculus of Variations and Optimal Control
We study, in a unified way, the following questions related to the properties of Pontryagin extremals for optimal control problems with unrestricted controls: i) How the transformations, which define the equivalence of two problems, transform the extremals? ii) How to obtain quantities which are conserved along any extremal? iii) How to assure that the set of extremals include the minimizers pr...
