    Conjugate direction methods with variable storage (1982)
    Springer
    Mathematical programming 23 (1982), S. 326-340

    ISSN: 1436-4646
    Keywords: Optimization ; Quasi-Newton ; Conjugate Gradient

    Topics: Computer Science , Mathematics
    Notes: Abstract In this paper we study conjugate gradient algorithms for large optimization problems. These methods accelerate (or precondition) the conjugate gradient method by means of quasi-Newton matrices, and are designed to utilize a variable amount of storage, depending on how much information is retained in the quasi-Newton matrices. We are concerned with the behaviour of such methods on the underlying quadratic model, and in particular, with finite termination properties.

    A smoothing-out technique for min—max optimization (1980)
    Springer
    Mathematical programming 19 (1980), S. 61-77 
    Details
    ISSN: 1436-4646
    Keywords: Optimization ; Nonlinear Programming ; Unconstrained Optimization ; Nondifferentiable Optimization ; Min—Max Problems
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Computer Science , Mathematics
    Notes: Abstract In this paper, we suggest approximations for smoothing out the kinks caused by the presence of “max” or “min” operators in many non-smooth optimization problems. We concentrate on the continuous-discrete min—max optimization problem. The new approximations replace the original problem in some neighborhoods of the kink points. These neighborhoods can be made arbitrarily small, thus leaving the original objective function unchanged at almost every point ofR n . Furthermore, the maximal possible difference between the optimal values of the approximate problem and the original one, is determined a priori by fixing the value of a single parameter. The approximations introduced preserve properties such as convexity and continuous differentiability provided that each function composing the original problem has the same properties. This enables the use of efficient gradient techniques in the solution process. Some numerical examples are presented.

    Analysis of a sterile insect release model with predation (1982)
    Springer
    Journal of mathematical biology 16 (1982), S. 33-48 
    Details
    ISSN: 1432-1416
    Keywords: Sterile insect release ; Predation ; Stability ; Limit cycles ; Optimal control
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Biology , Mathematics
    Notes: Abstract A model for the sterile insect release method of pest control in which the target species is under predatory or parasitic regulation is analyzed. The equations are nondimensionalized and the rescaled parameters are interpreted. There are four types of equilibria, whose existence and stability depend on which of ten regions of parameter space contain the rescaled parameters, and in turn give minimal release rates to achieve eradication of the pest. In at least one region, Hopf bifurcation theory shows the existence of limit cycles, but they are found to be unstable. In addition, the optimal release rate to minimize a total cost functional for pest control by the sterile release method is studied. Both approaches show that when predation accounts for a large fraction of the natural deaths, the necessary release rate and total cost are higher than for weak predation. If the predators are removed without being replaced by any other source of mortality, the cost rises in all cases but rises much more dramatically for cases with strong predation. A definite danger of the sterile release method when some predatory control exists is that the predators are frequently driven extinct before the prey, so that the target species could explode to much higher levels and be more difficult to eradicate again after the sterile release is terminated.

    A new augmented Lagrangian function for inequality constraints in nonlinear programming problems (1982)

    Keywords: Optimization ; nonlinear programming ; Numerical methods ; computational methods ; augmented Lagrangian functions

    Notes: Abstract In this paper, a new augmented Lagrangian function is introduced for solving nonlinear programming problems with inequality constraints. The relevant feature of the proposed approach is that, under suitable assumptions, it enables one to obtain the solution of the constrained problem by a single unconstrained minimization of a continuously differentiable function, so that standard unconstrained minimization techniques can be employed. Numerical examples are reported.

    Notes: Abstract The most common way of determining the steady states of a system is through the optimization of a concave function on a convex set. This applies only to cases where the objective function depends exclusively onextensive variables. In fields such as econometrics, physics, or chemistry, controllable quantities (and therefore constrained variables) are generally referred to asintensive parameters, and the states are described through a potential function. In the following pages, we examine how these two aspects can be connected.

    Suboptimal control of systems with multiple delays (1980)

    Notes: Abstract The application of Pontryagin's maximum principle to the optimization of linear systems with time delays results in a system of coupled two-point boundary-value problems involving both delay and advance terms. The exact solution of this system of TPBV problems is extremely difficult, if not impossible. In this paper, a fast-converging iterative approach is developed for obtaining the suboptimal control for nonstationary linear systems with multiple state and control delays and with quadratic cost. At each step of the proposed method, a linear nondelay system with an extra perturbing input must be optimized. The procedure can be extended for the optimization of nonlinear systems with multiple time-varying delays, provided that some of the nonlinearities satisfy the Lipschitz condition.

    Solution of nonlinear optimal control problems in Hilbert spaces by means of linear programming techniques (1980)

    Keywords: Optimal control ; measures ; Hilbert spaces ; linear programming ; approximation techniques
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Mathematics
    Notes: Abstract Optimal control problems in Hilbert spaces are considered in a measure-theoretical framework. Instead of minimizing a functional defined on a class of admissible trajectory-control pairs, we minimize one defined on a set of measures; this set is defined by the boundary conditions and the differential equation of the problem. The new problem is an infinite-dimensionallinear programming problem; it is shown that it is possible to approximate its solution by that of a finite-dimensional linear program of sufficiently high dimensions, while this solution itself can be approximated by a trajectory-control pair. This pair may not be strictly admissible; if the dimensionality of the finite-dimensional linear program and the accuracy of the computations are high enough, the conditions of admissibility can be said to be satisfied up to any given accuracy. The value given by this pair to the functional measuring the performance criterion can be about equal to theglobal infimum associated with the classical problem, or it may be less than this number. It appears that this method may become a useful technique for the computation of optimal controls, provided the approximations involved are acceptable.

    Junction phenomena for optimal control with state-variable inequality constraints of third order (1980)

    Notes: Abstract It is known that extremal arcs governed by inequality constraints of third order (constraint relations that must be differentiated three times to generate a control equation) cannot join an unconstrained arc, except in special cases. But a control problem is exhibited, for which every extremal includes a constrained arc of third order. The constrained arc joins the end of an infinite sequence of consecutive unconstrained arcs of finite total duration. Evidence (but not proof) is given that this phenomenon is typical, rather than exceptional. An analogous phenomenon is well known for optimal control problems with singular arcs of second order.

    Existence and global asymptotic stability of optimal trajectories for a class of infinite-horizon, nonconvex systems (1980)

    Notes: Abstract Sufficient conditions for the existence of optimal trajectories and for the global asymptotic stability of these trajectories are given for a class of nonconvex and nonautonomous systems controlled over an infinite-time horizon. The concept ofG-supported trajectory is introduced. It is shown that, under some assumptions, aG-supported trajectory is overtaking and is globally asymptotically stable. The concept of overtaking trajectory has been previously defined as a notion of optimality on an infinite-time domain. For autonomous systems, under weaker conditions, one guarantees the existence of weakly overtaking trajectories. Finally, it is shown howG-supported trajectories can be obtained, and an application to the study of a pre-predator ecosystem optimally harvested is sketched.

For an optimal pair $$\left( {\bar x\left( \cdot \right),\bar u\left( \cdot \right)} \right)$$ ,ū(·)), there is a maximum principle of the form $$\eta \left( t \right)f\left( {\bar x\left( t \right),\bar u\left( t \right)} \right) = \mathop {\max }\limits_{u \in \Omega \left( t \right)} \eta \left( t \right)f\left( {\bar x\left( t \right),u} \right).$$ By means of this fact, it is shown that $$\eta \left( t \right)f\left( {\bar x\left( t \right),\bar u\left( t \right)} \right)$$ is equal to a constant almost everywhere.

    An exact penalty function algorithm for optimal control problems with control and terminal equality constraints, part 1 (1980)

    Notes: Abstract The presence of control constraints, because they are nondifferentiable in the space of control functions, makes it difficult to cope with terminal equality constraints in optimal control problems. Gradient-projection algorithms, for example, cannot be employed easily. These difficulties are overcome in this paper by employing an exact penalty function to handle the cost and terminal equality constraints and using the control constraints to define the space of permissible search directions in the search-direction subalgorithm. The search-direction subalgorithm is, therefore, more complex than the usual linear program employed in feasible-directions algorithms. The subalgorithm approximately solves a convex optimal control problem to determine the search direction; in the implementable version of the algorithm, the accuracy of the approximation is automatically increased to ensure convergence.

It was shown that anyL ∞ accumulation points of control sequences generated by the algorithms satisfy necessary conditions of optimality. Since such accumulation points need not exist, it is shown in this paper that control sequences generated by the algorithms always have accumulation points in the sense of control measure, and these accumulation points satisfy optimality conditions for the corresponding relaxed control problem.

    Notes: Abstract In singular optimal control problems, the functional form of the optimal control function is usually determined by solving the algebraic equation which results by successively differentiating the switching function until the control appears explicitly. This process defines the order of the singular problem. Order-related results are developed for singular linear-quadratic problems and for a bilinear example which gives new insights into the relationship between singular problem order and singular are order.

Necessary and sufficient conditions are developed which two integral criteria must satisfy if they are to yield the same optimal feedback law, the dynamics being fixed. Specializing to the linear-quadratic case, it is shown how the general results given here recapture previously obtained results for quadratic criteria with linear dynamics.

    Notes: Abstract The dependence of the static response and the eigenvalues of a membrane on its shape is characterized. A transformation function is defined to determine the shape of the membrane. Differential operator properties and transformation techniques of integral calculus are employed to show that the static response and the eigenvalues of the system depend in a continuous and differentiable way on the shape of the membrane. Explicit and computable formulas are presented for the derivative (first variation) of the structural response and the eigenvalues with respect to the shape. A rigorous proof is provided, and the shape design sensitivity of a typical integral functional is determined.

    Additional necessary conditions for optimal control with state-variable inequality constraints (1982)
    Springer
    Journal of optimization theory and applications 38 (1982), S. 241-250 
    Details
    ISSN: 1573-2878
    Keywords: Optimal control ; state constraints ; necessary conditions for optimality

    Topics: Mathematics
    Notes: Abstract It is shown that, when the set of necessary conditions for an optimal control problem with state-variable inequality constraints given by Bryson, Denham, and Dreyfus is appropriately augmented, it is equivalent to the (different) set of conditions given by Jacobson, Lele, and Speyer. Relationships among the various multipliers are given.

    Multiplier rules and the separation of convex sets (1983)
    Springer
    Journal of optimization theory and applications 40 (1983), S. 321-331

    Notes: Abstract We consider the following abstract mathematical programming problem: in a setD, find an element that optimizes a real function φ0, subject to inequality constraints φ1⩽0, ..., φ p ⩽0 and equality constraints φ p+1=0, ..., φ p+q =0. Necessary conditions for this problem, like the Karush-Kuhn-Tucker theorem, can be seen as a consequence of separating with a hyperplane two convex sets inR p+q+1, the image space of the map Φ=(φ0, φ1, ..., φ p+q ). This paper reviews this approach and organizes it into a coherent way of looking at necessary conditions in optimization theory.

    Second-order necessary conditions in optimal control: Accessory-problem results without normality conditions (1983)
    Springer
    Journal of optimization theory and applications 41 (1983), S. 75-106

    ISSN: 1573-2878
    Keywords: Optimal control ; second-order necessary conditions ; accessory problem ; control constraints ; normality condition
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Mathematics
    Notes: Abstract An optimal control problem, which includes restrictions on the controls and equality/inequality constraints on the terminal states, is formulated. Second-order necessary conditions of the accessory-problem type are obtained in the absence of normality conditions. It is shown that the necessary conditions generalize and simplify prior results due to Hestenes (Ref. 5) and Warga (Refs. 6 and 7).

    On the convergence, invariance, and related aspects of a modification of Huang's algorithm (1982)
    Springer
    Journal of optimization theory and applications 37 (1982), S. 315-341

    ISSN: 1573-2878
    Keywords: Optimization ; unconstrained minimization ; updates ; line searches ; convergence ; numerical methods
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Mathematics
    Notes: Abstract We consider a certain generalization of the Huang family of updates and discuss, firstly, convergence, dependence on parameters, and descent property; secondly, invariance under nonlinear scaling, conjugacy of search directions, and possibility of achieving a better approximation of the inverse of the Hessian. The last three aspects are shown to be dependent on particular choices of parameters. A numerical experiment is presented comparing the performances of the usual and modified BFGS algorithms.

    Dynamic programming using singular perturbations (1982)
    Springer
    Journal of optimization theory and applications 38 (1982), S. 221-230

    ISSN: 1573-2878
    Keywords: Optimal control ; dynamic programming ; singular perturbations ; system order reduction
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Mathematics
    Notes: Abstract The singular perturbation method is used in dynamic programming to reduce the order and the computational requirements of linear systems composed of slow and fast modes. After the fast modes are separated, a near-optimum solution is computed at two different iteration rates determined by the slow and fast subsystem dynamics. The result is a reduction in the order of the computational requirement of the given system to that of the slow subsystem.

    Optimal control of two interconnected turbogenerators (1983)
    Springer
    Journal of optimization theory and applications 40 (1983), S. 255-291 
    Details
    ISSN: 1573-2878
    Keywords: Optimal control ; two interconnected turbogenerators ; torque control ; voltage control
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Mathematics
    Notes: Abstract In this paper, the optimal control of a system with two identical interconnected turbogenerators, which are connected to an infinite bus, is considered. Control of the generators is effected through control of field voltages and turbine torques. The alternators are controlled through a linear feedback of the state variables. The feedback parameters are obtained by solving a nonlinear, two-point boundary-value problem. The values obtained for these parameters depend on the strength and duration of the disturbance, since the model is nonlinear, in contrast to the usual feedback control of a linear model. The numerical values used are indicated in the Appendix.
