We consider the motion planning of an object in a Riemannian manifold where the object is steered from an initial point to a final point utilizing optimal control. Considering Pontryagin Minimization Principle we compute the Optimal Controls needed for steering the object from initial to final point. The Optimal Controls were solved with respect to time [Formula: see text] and shown to have norm [Formula: see text] which should be the case when the extremal trajectories, which are the solutions of Pontryagin Principle, are arc length parametrized. The extremal trajectories are supposed to be the geodesics on the Riemannian manifold. So we compute the geodesic curvature and the Gaussian curvature of the Riemannian structure.

Water hyacinth is a wild aquatic plant that grows quickly. The growth of water hyacinth need to be controled to prevent the flood and not to disturb paddy irrigation channels. Grass carp as herbivorous fish is used as natural predator to reduce the population of water hyacinth. The interaction between water hyacinth and grass carp is modeled using the prey-predator system. In this model there are harvest factors and predation factors using Holling type III. The optimal control problem is applied to minimize the mass of water hyacinth and harvest efforts of water hyacinth and maximize the mass of grass carp. The solution uses the Pontryagin Principle. The result is the harvesting of water hyacinth and the grass carp can minimize the water hyacinth biomass at the end of time. Eceng gondok merupakan tanaman liar di perairan yang tumbuh dengan cepat. Pertumbuhannya perlu dikendalikan agar tidak menyebabkan banjir dan tidak mengganggu saluran irigasi persawahan. Ikan grass carp sebagai ikan herbivora digunakan sebagai predator alami untuk mengurangi populasi eceng gondok. Hubungan antara eceng gondok dan ikan grass carp dimodelkan dengan menggunakan sistem prey-predator. Pada model ini terdapat faktor pemanenan dan faktor predasi menggunakan Holling tipe III. Masalah kendali optimal diterapkan dengan tujuan untuk meminimumkan massa eceng gondok dan usaha pemanenan eceng gondok serta memaksimumkan massa ikan grass carp. Penyelesaiannya menggunakan Prinsip Pontryagin. Hasilnya dengan adanya usaha pemanenan eceng gondok dan pengadaan ikan grass carp dapat meminimumkan biomassa eceng gondok di waktu akhir.

We investigate the optimal vaccination and screening strategies to minimize human papillomavirus (HPV) associated morbidity and the interventions cost. We propose a two-sex compartmental model of HPV-infection with time-dependent controls (vaccination of adolescents, adults, and screening) which can act simultaneously. We formulate optimal control problems complementing our model with two different objective functionals. The first functional corresponds to the protection of the vulnerable group and the control problem consists of minimizing the cumulative level of infected females over a fixed time interval. The second functional aims to eliminate the infection, and, thus, the control problem consists of minimizing the total prevalence at the end of the time interval. We prove the existence of solutions for the control problems, characterize the optimal controls, and carry out numerical simulations using various initial conditions. The results and properties and drawbacks of the model are discussed.

In this paper, a new rumor spreading model in social networks has been investigated. We propose a new version primarily based on the cholera model in order to take into account the expert pages specialized in the dissemination of rumors from an existing IRCSS model. In the second part, we recommend an optimal control strategy to fight against the spread of the rumor, and the study aims at characterizing the three optimal controls which minimize the number of spreader users, fake pages, and corresponding costs; theoretically, we have proved the existence of optimal controls, and we have given a characterization of controls in terms of states and adjoint functions based on a discrete version of Pontryagin’s maximum principle. To illustrate the theoretical results obtained, we propose numerical simulations for several scenarios applying the forward-backward sweep method (FBSM) to solve our optimality system in an iterative process.

The problem of existence of various types of optimum controls for controlling processes which are described by ordinary differential equation models is considered. The results presented enable one to test if there does exist an optimum control in the class of controls under consideration before proceeding to the construction of an optimal control.

Abstract In this work we investigate explicit and implicit difference equations and the corresponding infinite time horizon linear-quadratic optimal control problem. We derive conditions for feasibility of the optimal control problem as well as existence and uniqueness of optimal controls under certain weaker assumptions compared to the standard approaches in the literature which are using algebraic Riccati equations. To this end, we introduce and analyse a discrete-time Lur’e equation and a corresponding Kalman–Yakubovich–Popov (KYP) inequality. We show that solvability of the KYP inequality can be characterized via the spectral structure of a certain palindromic matrix pencil. The deflating subspaces of this pencil are finally used to construct solutions of the Lur’e equation. The results of this work are transferred from the continuous-time case. However, many additional technical difficulties arise in this context.

In this study, we investigate the optimal control problem for a diffusion eco-epidemiological predator–prey model. We applied two controllers to this model. One is the separation control, which separates the uninfected prey from the infected prey population, and the other is used as a treatment control to decrease the mortality caused by the disease. Then, we propose an optimal problem to minimize the infected prey population at the final time and the cost cause by the controls. To do this, by the operator semigroup theory we prove the existence of the solution to the controlled system. Furthermore, we prove the existence of the optimal controls and obtain the first-order necessary optimality condition for the optimal controls. Finally, some numerical simulations are carried out to support the theoretical results.

The aim of this paper is to study and investigate the optimal control strategy of a discrete mathematical model of smoking with specific saturated incidence rate. The population that we are going to study is divided into five compartments: potential smokers, light smokers, heavy smokers, temporary quitters of smoking, and permanent quitters of smoking. Our objective is to find the best strategy to reduce the number of light smokers, heavy smokers, and temporary quitters of smoking. We use three control strategies which are awareness programs through media and education, treatment, and psychological support with follow-up. Pontryagins maximum principle in discrete time is used to characterize the optimal controls. The numerical simulation is carried out using MATLAB. Consequently, the obtained results confirm the performance of the optimization strategy.

In this paper a hydraulic hybrid system architecture for multi-actuator displacement controlled systems is analyzed. In particular the problem of optimal control for a hybrid excavator with four actuators is solved. The system states and controls are identified and classified into those which are cycle defined and those which are free to vary during the duty cycle. A state space model is derived for the hybrid system using the free states and controls and an outline of the algorithm used to apply dynamic programming to the system is described. The optimal controls and states for an aggressive truck loading cycle of the excavator are compared with suboptimal controls and states obtained using a rule based control strategy. Finally a comparison is made for the simulated fuel consumption of the system using optimal and suboptimal controls. A comparison is also made between the fuel consumption of the hybrid and non-hybrid excavators.

Let [Formula: see text] be an arc on a connected oriented surface [Formula: see text] in [Formula: see text], parameterized by arc length [Formula: see text], with torsion [Formula: see text] and length [Formula: see text]. The total square torsion [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] is defined by [Formula: see text]. The arc [Formula: see text] is called a relaxed elastic line of second kind if it is an extremal for the variational problem of minimizing the value of [Formula: see text] within the family of all arcs of length [Formula: see text] on [Formula: see text] having the same initial point and initial direction as [Formula: see text]. In this study, we obtain differential equation and boundary conditions for a relaxed elastic line of second kind on an oriented surface.
