  1. Optimal Control Applied to a Mathematical Model for Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococci

    Lowden, Jonathan2018

    … with controls over a nite time period. Pontryagin's Minimum Principle is used to characterize optimal controls by deriving a Hamiltonian expression and differential equations for ve adjoint variables. Numerical solutions to the optimal control problem illustrate how hospital policy …

  2. Optimal Electrodynamic Tether Phasing and Orbit-Raising Maneuvers

    Bitzer, Matthew ScottVirginia Tech2009

    … We develop the optimal equations of motion using Pontryagin's Minimum Principle. We find numerical solutions using a global, stochastic optimization method called Adaptive Simulated Annealing. The method uses Markov chains and the system's cost function to narrow down the search space. Newton's …

  3. A nonstandard optimal control problem arising in an economics application: for royalty payment with piecewise function

    Wan Ahmad, Wan Noor AfifahUniversiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia2018

    … OC problem, and cannot be settled by utilizing Pontryagin's Minimum Principle with the standard boundary conditions at the final time. In the standard case, a free final state value y T  yields a necessary boundary condition pT   0 where pt  is the costate variable. Since the integrand is …

  4. Value-Gradient Learning

    Fairbank, M.City University London2014

    … algorithm. The connection of this result to Pontryagin's Minimum Principle is made clear. Hence it is proven that learning this value-gradient directly will obviate the need for local exploration of the value function, and this motivates value-gradient learning methods in terms of automatic …

    Mappas, VasileiosUniversity of Cambridge2022

    … dynamic optimisation problems (OCP), based on Pontryagin's Minimum Principle. Three different algorithms are used to solve the OCPs: the forward, backward and double shooting methods. In the case of OCPs, the proposed solution scheme obviates the need for discretising the control actions …
