An Accelerator for Packages Solving Discrete-Time Optimal Control Problems

چکیده
We present an accelerator scheme for use with existing packages that solve nonlinear programming problems with a large number of inequality constraints that arise in the process of discretizing continuous-time optimal control problems with state-space constraints. This scheme is based on the concept of outer approximations used in semi-infinite programming and acts as an external, active constraints set strategy. Our scheme constructs a finite sequence of inequality constrained nonlinear programming problems, containing a progressively larger subset of the constraints in the original problem, and submits these problems to a nonlinear programming solver for a fixed number of iterations. We prove that this scheme computes a solution of the original problem and show, by means of numerical experiments, that it results in reductions in computing time ranging from a factor of 6 to a factor of over 400.

A Method for Solving Optimal Control Problems Using Genetic Programming
This paper deals with a novel method for solving optimal control problems based on genetic programming. This approach produces some trial solutions and seeks the best of them. If the solution cannot be expressed in a closed analytical form then our method produces an approximation with a controlled level of accuracy. Using numerical examples, we will demonstrate how to use the results.
متن کاملOptimal Finite-time Control of Positive Linear Discrete-time Systems
This paper considers solving optimization problem for linear discrete time systems such that closed-loop discrete-time system is positive (i.e., all of its state variables have non-negative values) and also finite-time stable. For this purpose, by considering a quadratic cost function, an optimal controller is designed such that in addition to minimizing the cost function, the positivity proper...
متن کاملA New Optimal Solution Concept for Fuzzy Optimal Control Problems
In this paper, we propose the new concept of optimal solution for fuzzy variational problems based on the possibility and necessity measures. Inspired by the well–known embedding theorem, we can transform the fuzzy variational problem into a bi–objective variational problem. Then the optimal solutions of fuzzy variational problem can be obtained by solving its corresponding biobjective variatio...

Optimal discrete-time control of linear systems has been presented already. There are some difficulties to design an optimal discrete-time control of robot manipulator since the robot manipulator is highly nonlinear and uncertain. This paper presents a novel robust optimal discrete-time control of electrically driven robot manipulators for performing repetitive tasks. The robot performs repetit...
متن کاملA Neural Network Method Based on Mittag-Leffler Function for Solving a Class of Fractional Optimal Control Problems
In this paper, a computational intelligence method is used for the solution of fractional optimal control problems (FOCP)'s with equality and inequality constraints. According to the Ponteryagin minimum principle (PMP) for FOCP with fractional derivative in the Riemann- Liouville sense and by constructing a suitable error function, we define an unconstrained minimization problem. In the optimiz...
