This paper is devoted to the study of numerical computation for a kind of time optimal control problem for the tubular reactor system. This kind of time optimal control problem is aimed at delaying the initiation time τ of the active control as late as possible, such that the state governed by this controlled system can reach the target set at a given ending time T. To compute the time optimal control problem, we firstly approximate the original problem by finite element method and get a new approximation time optimal control problem governed by ordinary differential equations. Then, through the control parameterization method and time-scaling transformation, the approximation problem becomes an optimal parameter selection problem. Finally, we use Sequential Quadratic Program algorithm to solve the optimal parameter selection problem. A numerical simulation is given for illustration.

The deterministic discrete-time optimal control problem for a finite optimization interval is considered. A solution is obtained in the z-domain by embedding the problem within a equivalent infinite time problem. The optimal controller is time-invariant and may be easily implemented. The controller is related to the solution of the usual infinite time optimal control problem due to Wiener. This new controller should be of value in self-tuning control laws where a finite interval controller is particularly important.

In this paper, we consider the time-optimal control problem about a kind of Petrowsky system and its bang-bang property. To solve this problem, we first construct another control problem, whose null controllability is equivalent to the controllability of the time-optimal control problem of the Petrowsky system, and give the necessary condition for the null controllability. Then we show the existence of time-optimal control of the Petrowsky system through minimum sequences, for the null controllability of the constructed control problem is equivalent to the controllability of the time-optimal control of the Petrowsky system. At last, with the null controllability, we obtain the bang-bang property of the time-optimal control of the Petrowsky system by contradiction, moreover, we know the time-optimal control acts on one subset of the boundary of the vibration system.
