AbstractThe Pontryagin theory of optimal control is modified by assuming a positive cost associated with switching control from one discrete value to another. The resulting new theory permits a general existence theorem. Pontryagin's maximum principle is replaced by an “indifference principle”.

Optimal boundary control for damping the vibrations in a Mindlin-type beam is considered. Wellposedness and controllability of the system are investigated. A maximum principle is introduced and optimal control function is obtained by means of maximum principle. Also, by using maximum principle, control problem is reduced to solving a system of partial differential equations including state, adjoint variables, which are subject to initial, boundary and terminal conditions. The solution of the system is obtained by using MATLAB. Numerical results are presented in table and graphical forms.

This study considers the optimal control of dry bulb temperature and moisture content in a single zone, to be accomplished in such a way as to be implementable in any zone of a multi-zone system. Optimality is determined in terms of appropriate cost and performance functions and subject to practical limits using the maximum principle. Several candidate optimal control strategies are investigated. It is shown that a bang-bang switching control which is theoretically periodic is a least cost practical control. In addition, specific attributes of this class of problem are explored.
