In this paper we deal with the numerical analysis of an optimal control problem of minimax type with finite horizon and final cost. To get numerical approximations we devise here a fully discrete scheme which enables us to compute an approximated solution. We prove that the fully discrete solution converges to the solution of the continuous problem and we also give the order of the convergence rate. Finally we present some numerical results.

A geometric method is described to characterize the different kinds of extremals in optimal control theory. This comes from the use of a presymplectic constraint algorithm starting from the necessary conditions given by Pontryagin's Maximum Principle. The algorithm must be run twice so as to obtain suitable sets that once projected must be compared. Apart from the design of this general algorithm useful for any optimal control problem, it is shown how to classify the set of extremals and, in particular, how to characterize the strict abnormality. An example of strict abnormal extremal for a particular control-affine system is also given.

Fractional Order Model

This paper deals with the optimal control problem in the giving up smoking model of fractional order. For the eradication of smoking in a community, we introduce three control variables in the form of education campaign, anti-smoking gum, and anti-nicotive drugs/medicine in the proposed fractional order model. We discuss the necessary conditions for the optimality of a general fractional optimal control problem whose fractional derivative is described in the Caputo sense. In order to do this, we minimize the number of potential and occasional smokers and maximize the number of ex-smokers. We use Pontryagin’s maximum principle to characterize the optimal levels of the three controls. The resulting optimality system is solved numerically by MATLAB.

In this paper, the optimal control problem of system described by stochastic McShane differential equations is considered. It is shown that this problem can be reduced to an equivalent optimal control problem of distributed parameter systems of parabolic type with controls appearing in the coefficients of the differential operator. Further, to this reduced problem, necessary conditions for optimality and an existence theorem for optimal controls are given.
