A numerical method based on the Pontryagin maximum principle for solving an optimal control problem with static and dynamic phase constraints for a group of objects is considered. Dynamic phase constraints are introduced to avoid collisions between objects. Phase constraints are included in the functional in the form of smooth penalty functions. Additional parameters for special control modes and the terminal time of the control process were introduced. The search for additional parameters and the initial conditions for the conjugate variables was performed by the modified self-organizing migrating algorithm. An example of using this approach to solve the optimal control problem for the oncoming movement of two mobile robots is given. Simulation and comparison with direct approach showed that the problem is multimodal, and it approves application of the evolutionary algorithm for its solution.

We consider the regularization of the classical optimality conditions (COCs) — the Lagrange principle and the Pontryagin maximum principle — in a convex optimal control problem with functional constraints of equality and inequality type. The system to be controlled is given by a general linear functional-operator equation of the second kind in the space $L^m_2$, the main operator of the right-hand side of the equation is assumed to be quasinilpotent. The objective functional of the problem is strongly convex. Obtaining regularized COCs in iterative form is based on the use of the iterative dual regularization method. The main purpose of the regularized Lagrange principle and the Pontryagin maximum principle obtained in the work in iterative form is stable generation of minimizing approximate solutions in the sense of J. Warga. Regularized COCs in iterative form are formulated as existence theorems in the original problem of minimizing approximate solutions. They “overcome” the ill-posedness properties of the COCs and are regularizing algorithms for solving optimization problems. As an illustrative example, we consider an optimal control problem associated with a hyperbolic system of first-order differential equations.

In this paper, we study a modelization of the evolution of cereal output production, controlled by adding fertilizers and in presence of locusts, then by adding insecticides. The aim is to maximize the cereal output and meanwhile minimize pollution caused by adding fertilizers and insecticides.The optimal control problem obtained is solved theoretically by using the Pontryagin Maximum Principle, and then numerically with shooting method.

We provide easy and readable GNU Octave/MATLAB code for the simulation of mathematical models described by ordinary differential equations and for the solution of optimal control problems through Pontryagin’s maximum principle. For that, we consider a normalized HIV/AIDS transmission dynamics model based on the one proposed in our recent contribution (Silva, C.J.; Torres, D.F.M. A SICA compartmental model in epidemiology with application to HIV/AIDS in Cape Verde. Ecol. Complex. 2017, 30, 70–75), given by a system of four ordinary differential equations. An HIV initial value problem is solved numerically using the ode45 GNU Octave function and three standard methods implemented by us in Octave/MATLAB: Euler method and second-order and fourth-order Runge–Kutta methods. Afterwards, a control function is introduced into the normalized HIV model and an optimal control problem is formulated, where the goal is to find the optimal HIV prevention strategy that maximizes the fraction of uninfected HIV individuals with the least HIV new infections and cost associated with the control measures. The optimal control problem is characterized analytically using the Pontryagin Maximum Principle, and the extremals are computed numerically by implementing a forward-backward fourth-order Runge–Kutta method. Complete algorithms, for both uncontrolled initial value and optimal control problems, developed under the free GNU Octave software and compatible with MATLAB are provided along the article.

We consider a stochastic recursive optimal control problem in which the control variable has two components: the regular control and the impulse control. The control variable does not enter the diffusion coefficient, and the domain of the regular controls is not necessarily convex. We establish necessary optimality conditions, of the Pontryagin maximum principle type, for this stochastic optimal control problem. Sufficient optimality conditions are also given. The optimal control is obtained for an example of linear quadratic optimization problem to illustrate the applications of the theoretical results.
