Solution Methods for Age-Structured Optimal Control Models with Feedback
نویسنده
چکیده
Modeling the dynamics of infectious diseases, illicit drug initiation, or other systems, where the age of an individual or the duration of being in a specific state is essential, leads to a generalized form of the McKendrick equations, i.e., a system of first-order partial differential equations in the time-age space. Typically such models include agespecific feedback components which are represented by integral terms in the right hand side of the equation. This paper presents the general framework of such optimal control models, the corresponding necessary optimality conditions and two different approaches for numerical solution methods.

Presentation of quasi-linear piecewise selected models simultaneously with designing of bump-less optimal robust controller for nonlinear vibration control of composite plates
The idea of using quasi-linear piecewise models has been established on the decomposition of complicated nonlinear systems, simultaneously designing with local controllers. Since the proper performance and the final system close loop stability are vital in multi-model controllers designing, the main problem in multi-model controllers is the number of the local models and their position not payi...
متن کاملControl Theory and Economic Policy Optimization: The Origin, Achievements and the Fading Optimism from a Historical Standpoint
Economists were interested in economic stabilization policies as early as the 1930’s but the formal applications of stability theory from the classical control theory to economic analysis appeared in the early 1950’s when a number of control engineers actively collaborated with economists on economic stability and feedback mechanisms. The theory of optimal control resulting from the contributio...

In this paper, the optimal birth feedback control of a McKendrick type age-structured population dynamic system based on the Chinese population dynamics is considered. Adopt the dynamic programming approach, to obtain the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation and prove that the value function is its viscosity solution. By the derived classical verification theorem, the optimal birth feedback control...

متن کاملOptimal Integral State Feedback Control of HCCI Combustion Timing
Homogenous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) engines hold promise of high fuel efficiency and low emission levels for future green vehicles. But in contrast to gasoline and diesel engines, HCCI engines suffer from lack of having direct means to initiate combustion. A combustion timing controller with robust tracking performance is the key requirement to leverage HCCI application in production ...
