Uncertainties in parameter estimation and optimal control in batch distillation
Optimal control problems in batch distillation involve finding a trajectory for the reflux ratio so as to maximize a performance index. Then the controller is asked to follow this...

Resolving actuator redundancy - optimal control vs. control allocation
This paper considers actuator redundancy management for a class of overactuated nonlinear systems. Two tools for distributing the control effort among a redundant set of actuators...

Duality in Linear Programming Problems Related to Deterministic Long Run Average Problems of Optimal Control
It has been established recently that, under mild conditions, deterministic long run average problems of optimal control are "asymptotically equivalent" to infinite-dimen...

Numerical optimal control of the wave equation: optimal boundary control of a string to rest in finite time
In many real-life applications of optimal control problems with constraints in form of partial differential equations (PDEs), hyperbolic equations are involved which typically desc...

Graphical Model Inference in Optimal Control of Stochastic Multi-Agent Systems
In this article we consider the issue of optimal control in collaborative multi-agent systems with stochastic dynamics. The agents have a joint task in which they have to reach a ...

Optimization over state feedback policies for robust control with constraints
This paper is concerned with the optimal control of linear discrete-time systems, which are subject to unknown but bounded state disturbances and mixed constraints on the state an...

Optimal control of LTI systems over unreliable communication links
In this paper, optimal control of linear time-invariant (LTI) systems over unreliable communication links is studied. The motivation of the problem comes from growing applications...

Distributed receding horizon control for multi-vehicle formation stabilization
We consider the control of interacting subsystems whose dynamics and constraints are decoupled, but whose state vectors are coupled non-separably in a single cost function of a fi...
