We review recent results obtained to solve fractional order optimal control problems with free terminal time and a dynamic constraint involving integer and fractional order derivatives. Some particular cases are studied in detail. A numerical scheme is given, based on expansion formulas for the fractional derivative. The efficiency of the method is illustrated through examples.

Two schemes to find approximated solutions of optimal control problems of fractional order (FOCPs) are investigated. Integration and differentiation matrices were used in these schemes. These schemes used Chebyshev polynomials in the shifted case as a functional approximation. The target of the presented schemes is to convert such problems to optimization problems (OPs). Numerical examples are included, showing the strength of the schemes.

Abstract In this paper, a class of time-delay fractional optimal control problems (TDFOCPs) is studied. Delays may appear in state or control (or both) functions. By an embedding process and using conformable fractional derivative as a new definition of fractional derivative and integral, the class of admissible pair (state, control) is replaced by a class of positive Radon measures. The optimization problem found in measure space is then approximated by a linear programming problem (LPP). The optimal measure which is representing optimal pair is approximated by the solution of a LPP. In this paper, we have shown that the embedding method (embedding the admissible set into a subset of measures), successfully can be applied to non-linear TDFOCPs. The usefulness of the used idea in this paper is that the method is not iterative, quite straightforward and can be applied to non-linear dynamical systems.

The performance index of both the state and control variables with a constrained dynamic optimization problem of a fractional order system with fixed final Time have been considered here. This paper presents a general formulation and solution scheme of a class of fractional optimal control problems. The method is based upon finding the numerical solution of the Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman equation, corresponding to this problem, by the Legendre–Gauss collocation method. The main reason for using this technique is its efficiency and simple application. Also, in this work, we use the fractional derivative in the Riemann–Liouville sense and explain our method for a fractional derivative of order of [Formula: see text]. Numerical examples are provided to show the effectiveness of the formulation and solution scheme.

This paper presents a quadratic numerical scheme for a class of fractional optimal control problems (FOCPs). The fractional derivative is described in the Caputo sense. The performance index of a FOCP is considered as a function of both the state and the control variables, and the dynamic constraints are expressed by a set of fractional differential equations. The calculus of variations, the Lagrange multiplier, and the formula for fractional integration by parts are used to obtain Euler–Lagrange equations for the FOCP. The formulation presented and the resulting equations are very similar to those that appear in the classical optimal control theory. Thus, the present formulation essentially extends the classical control theory to fractional dynamic systems. The formulation is used to derive the control equations for a quadratic linear fractional control problem. For a linear system, this method results into a set of linear simultaneous equations, which can be solved using a direct or an iterative scheme. Numerical results for a FOCP are presented to demonstrate the feasibility of the method. It is shown that the solutions converge as the number of grid points increases, and the solutions approach to classical solutions as the order of the fractional derivatives approach to 1. The formulation presented is simple and can be extended to other FOCPs.
