This paper deals with an optimal control problem for a linear system of first-order hyperbolic equations with a function on the right-hand side determined from controlled bilinear ordinary differential equations. These ordinary differential equations are linear with respect to state functions with controlled coefficients. Such problems arise in the simulation of some processes of chemical technology and population dynamics. Normally, general optimal control methods are used for these problems because of bilinear ordinary differential equations. In this paper, the problem is reduced to an optimal control problem for a system of ordinary differential equations. The reduction is based on non-classic exact increment formulas for the cost-functional. This treatment allows to use a number of efficient optimal control methods for the problem. An example illustrates the approach.

This article deals with stabilization and optimal control of an articulated flexible arm by a passive approach. This approach is based on the boundary control of the Euler–Bernoulli beam by means of wave-absorbing feedback. Due to the specific propagative properties of the beam, such controls involve long-memory, non-rational convolution operators. Diffusive realizations of these operators are introduced and used for elaborating an original and efficient wave-absorbing feedback control. The globally passive nature of the closed-loop system gives it the unconditional robustness property, even with the parameters uncertainties of the system. This is not the case in active control, where the system is unstable, because the energy of high frequencies is practically uncontrollable. Our contribution comes in the achievement of optimal control by the diffusion equation. The proposed approach is original in considering a non-zero initial condition of the diffusion as an optimization variable. The optimal arm evolution, in a closed loop, is fixed in an open loop by optimizing a criterion whose variable is the initial diffusion condition. The obtained simulation results clearly illustrate the effectiveness and robustness of the optimal diffusive control.

In order to improve the handling stability of four-wheel steering (4WS) cars, a two-degree-of-freedom 4WS vehicle dynamics model is constructed here, and the motion differential equation of the system model is established. Based on the quadratic optimal control theory, the optimal control of 4WS system is proposed in this paper. When running at low speed and high speed, through yaw rate feedback control, state feedback control, and optimal control, the 4WS cars are controlled based on yaw rate and centroid cornering angle with MATLAB/Simulink simulation. The result indicates that 4WS control based on the optimal control can improve the displacement of the cars. And, the optimal control of 4WS proposed in this paper can eliminate centroid cornering angle completely compared with other two traditional optimal control methods. Besides, the optimal control enjoys faster response speed and no overshoot happens. In conclusion, the optimal control method proposed in the paper represents better stability, moving track and stability, thereby further enhancing the handling property of cars.
