The paper considers the application of the method for analytical design of optimal controllers as formulated by of A.A. Krasovsky (optimization according to the criterion of generalized work) for the control synthesis of spacecraft reorientation from an arbitrary angular position to a given attitude during a fixed time period. A predictive algorithm model was selected as a numerical implementation for the analytical design according to the generalized performance criterion. In order to investigate the angular motion optimization methods experimentally, a model of the spacecraft reorientation control process was developed and implemented in C#. Numerical experiments demonstrated that the generic algorithm does not ensure the specified accuracy of the final orientation, and an increase in the weight coefficients in the terminal member in order to reduce the orientation errors leads to a loss of stability of the dynamic process. The paper proposes a modification of the prediction algorithm — a recurrent-iterative algorithm for exact reorientation of a spacecraft in a fixed time period. The approach used in this case involves organizing an iterative procedure for synthesizing the optimal control of the spacecraft reorientation based on a prediction algorithm. The optimal control calculated at each iteration is used at the next step of the iterative procedure as the next additive component of programmable control. Numerical experiments demonstrated that the recursive-iterative method for reorienting a spacecraft ensures the angular motion stability of the spacecraft and the specified accuracy of the final orientation in a wide range of boundary conditions. The scope of the proposed algorithm is limited to control objects with continuum end-effectors. An example of such a control object is a remote sensing satellite with power gyroscopes (gyrodines) in the orientation system.

The study of results of relevant works on remote sensing of forests has shown that the known methods of remote estimation of forest cuts and growth don’t allow to calculate the objective average value of forests cut volume during the fixed time period. The existing mathematical estimates are not monotonous and make it possible to estimate primitively the scale of cutting by computing the ratio of data in two fixed time points. In the article the extreme properties of the considered estimates for deforestation and reforestation models are researched. The extreme features of integrated averaged values of given estimates upon limitations applied on variables, characterizing the deforestation and reforestation processes are studied. The integrated parameter, making it possible to calculate the averaged value of estimates of forest cutting, computed for all fixed time period with a fixed step is suggested. It is shown mathematically that the given estimate has a monotonous feature in regard of value of given time interval and make it possible to evaluate objectively the scales of forest cutting.

AbstractIn this paper, we will deal with a linear quadratic optimal control problem with unknown dynamics. As a modeling assumption, we will suppose that the knowledge that an agent has on the current system is represented by a probability distribution $$\pi $$ π on the space of matrices. Furthermore, we will assume that such a probability measure is opportunely updated to take into account the increased experience that the agent obtains while exploring the environment, approximating with increasing accuracy the underlying dynamics. Under these assumptions, we will show that the optimal control obtained by solving the “average” linear quadratic optimal control problem with respect to a certain $$\pi $$ π converges to the optimal control driven related to the linear quadratic optimal control problem governed by the actual, underlying dynamics. This approach is closely related to model-based reinforcement learning algorithms where prior and posterior probability distributions describing the knowledge on the uncertain system are recursively updated. In the last section, we will show a numerical test that confirms the theoretical results.

Two inverse ill-posed problems are considered. The first problem is an input restoration of a linear system. The second one is a restoration of time-dependent coefficients of a linear ordinary differential equation. Both problems are reformulated as auxiliary optimal control problems with regularizing cost functional. For the coefficients restoration problem, two control models are proposed. In the first model, the control coefficients are approximated by the output and the estimates of its derivatives. This model yields an approximating linear-quadratic optimal control problem having a known explicit solution. The derivatives are also obtained as auxiliary linear-quadratic tracking controls. The second control model is accurate and leads to a bilinear-quadratic optimal control problem. The latter is tackled in two ways: by an iterative procedure and by a feedback linearization. Simulation results show that a bilinear model provides more accurate coefficients estimates.

The classical maximum principle for optimal stochastic control states that if a control [Formula: see text] is optimal, then the corresponding Hamiltonian has a maximum at [Formula: see text]. The first proofs for this result assumed that the control did not enter the diffusion coefficient. Moreover, it was assumed that there were no jumps in the system. Subsequently, it was discovered by Shige Peng (still assuming no jumps) that one could also allow the diffusion coefficient to depend on the control, provided that the corresponding adjoint backward stochastic differential equation (BSDE) for the first-order derivative was extended to include an extra BSDE for the second-order derivatives. In this paper, we present an alternative approach based on Hida–Malliavin calculus and white noise theory. This enables us to handle the general case with jumps, allowing both the diffusion coefficient and the jump coefficient to depend on the control, and we do not need the extra BSDE with second-order derivatives. The result is illustrated by an example of a constrained linear-quadratic optimal control.
