this paper presents optimal control method to path planning of mobile robots with flexible joints. dynamic equations are derived and additional kinematic constraints are used to solve the extra dofs arose from base mobility. then with modeling the elasticity at each joint as a linear torsinal spring, the set of equations are formed. the hamiltonian function is formed and the necessary condition...

Stochastic control problems in which there are no bounds on the rate of control reduce to so-called free-boundary problems in partial differential equations (PDEs). In a free-boundary problem the solution of the PDE and the domain over which the PDE must be solved need to be determined simultaneously. Examples of such stochastic control problems are singular control, optimal stopping, and impul...

In this paper we investigate the optimal control problem for a class of stochastic Cauchy evolution problem with non standard boundary dynamic and control. The model is composed by an infinite dimensional dynamical system coupled with a finite dimensional dynamics, which describes the boundary conditions of the internal system. In other terms, we are concerned with non standard boundary conditi...

In this paper, the optimal conditions for fractional optimal control problems (FOCPs) were derived in which the fractional differential operators defined in terms of Caputo sense and reduces this problem to a system of fractional differential equations (FDEs) that is called twopoint boundary value (TPBV) problem. An approximate solution of this problem is constructed by using the Legendre-Gauss...
