We consider the optimal control problem with vector-valued criterion (including cooperative games) and seek Pareto-optimal (noninferior) solutions. Scalarization results, together with modified sufficiency theorems from optimal control theory, are used to deduce sufficient conditions for Pareto-optimality. The utilization of these conditions is illustrated by various examples.

Starting from the general kinetic principle of d’Alembert/Lagrange, an energetic proof of the sufficiency conditions for equilibrium (known as Principle of Virtual Work) is presented. It is clearly demonstrated why to maintain equilibrium requires that, in addition to the familiar vanishing of the virtual work of the impressed forces on the originally motionless system, its geometrical (holonomic) constraints be explicitly time independent (stationary) and its nonintegrable kinematical (nonholonomic) ones be linear and homogeneous in the generalized velocities (catastatic).

A new iterative method introduced by Daftardar-Gejji and Jafari (2006) (DJ Method) is an efficient technique to solve nonlinear functional equations. In the present paper, sufficiency conditions for convergence of DJM have been presented. Further equivalence of DJM and Adomian decomposition method is established.

AbstractThe Equation (1) $(r(x)y')'=q(x)y(x)$ is regarded as a perturbation of (2) $(r(x)z'(x))'=q_1(x)z(x)$. The functions $r(x)$, $q_1(x)$ are assumed to be continuous real valued, $r(x)>0$, $q_1(x)\ge0$, whereas $q(x)$ is continuous complex valued. A problem of Hartman and Wintner regarding the asymptotic integration of (1) for large $x$ by means of solutions of (2) is studied. Sufficiency conditions for solvability of this problem expressed by means of coefficients $r(x)$, $q(x)$, $q_1(x)$ of Equations (1) and (2) are obtained.AMS 2000 Mathematics subject classification: Primary 34E20

Based on the Jordan form of system matrix, this paper discusses algebraic conditions for the controllability of the multiagent network system with directed graph from two aspects: leader-follower network attribute and coupling input disturbance. Leader-follower network attribute refers to the topology structure and information communication among agents. Coupling input disturbance includes the number of external coupling inputs and the selection of leader nodes. When the leader-follower network attribute is fixed, the selection method of coupling input disturbance is studied for the controllability, and when the coupling input disturbance is known, we derive necessity and sufficiency conditions to determine the controllability. The reliability of theoretical results is verified by numerical examples and model simulation. Besides, the generally perfect controllability is introduced, that is, the system is always controllable regardless of the number and the locations of leaders. In practical engineering applications, the perfectly controllable topology can improve the system fault tolerance and accelerate the commercialization process, which has a profound significance for promoting the modernization process.

Inverted pendulum system is a non-linear,natural instability and uncertain system. As a controlled objects of control system in mechanical industry, it can be analysis and verification by different control theory and methods. The paper analysis the non-linear inverted pendulum system, then deduces sufficiency conditions of the existence of controller with state feedback. It utilizes standard digital software to get the answer. The feasibility and robustness is demonstrated by numerical examples.
