Eikonal Equation And Shape-From-Shading Authors: Pierpaolo Soravia, Volume: 1, Page 79 Paper number 2073 Abstract: We consider a class of Hamilton-Jacobi equations with discontinuous coefficients that contains as examples the eikonal equation with discontinuous refraction index, or the Hamilton-Jacobi equation of shape-from-shading with discontinuous intensity function. In general the Dirichlet problem for such equations does not have unique solution, however we can characterize the minimal and maximal solution and, under appropriate compatibility conditions, prove existence of a unique solution in the sense of viscosity solutions. CD002073.PDF (From Author) TOP Optimal Pricing And Replenishment Policies When Consumer Demand Depends On The In-Store Inventory Level Authors: Steffen Jørgensen, Peter M. Kort, Volume: 1, Page 85 Paper number 129 Abstract: The paper studies an optimal control problem of pricing and inventory replenishment in a system with sequential inventories. Consumer demand for a specific product depends on price as well as the in-store stock of the product. The hypothesis is that for some consumer goods, a large volume of displayed goods leads consumers to buy more than if the stock is small. In addition to the displayed stock, there is an inventory of the product in a central warehouse. We consider a setup in which management of the two stocks is decentralized such that pricing decisions are made by the store manager who also decides on the level of in-store inventory. The manager of the warehouse makes replenishment decisions about the stock in the warehouse. We also study the problem where decisions are centralized and investigate the policy impacts of having a stock-dependent demand. Phase diagrams and a synthesizing procedure are used to derive optimal inventory, replenishment, and retail price policies. CD000129.PDF (Scanned) TOP Analytical Time Optimal Control Solution For Free Flying Objects With Drift Terms Authors: Tsutomu Mita, Sang-Ho Hyon, Taek-Kun Nam, Volume: 1, Page 91 Paper number 1033 Abstract: In order to control gymnastic and jumping robots, we will derive the complete analytical solutions to the time optimal posture control problem of a two-link free flying object with initial angular momentum. The obtained analytical solutions include simple closed form formulae of the control law and show that the problem leads to a singular optimal control problem depending upon the initial posture; the switching time is once when the singular solution does not occur while is twice when the singular solution is used. As an application, the somersault motion of a diver approximated by the two link system is simulated. CD001033.PDF (Scanned) TOP Optimal Approximation Rates for Lipschitz Controls Authors: Goetz P. Grammel, Volume: 1, Page 95 Paper number 1091 Abstract: For nonlinear nonconvex control systems we investigate the approximation properties of Lipschitz controls. In case that the control range is connected, any trajectory produced by a measurable control can be approximated by trajectories produced by Lipschitz controls. The approximation is of order O(M^-1/2), where M is the Lipschitz constant. An example shows that this approximation order is optimal. CD001091.PDF (From Author) CD001091.PDF (Scanned) TOP Optimal Fractional Controllers for Commensurate Order Systems: a Special Case of the Wiener-Hopf Method Authors: Blas M. Vinagre, Vicente Feliu, Volume: 1, Page 97 Paper number 1482 Abstract: In this paper, the authors propose a generalization of the well known Wiener-Hopf design method of optimal controllers and filters, applicable to certain class of systems described by fractional order differential equations, the so called commensurate order systems, i.e., in the Laplace domain, systems described by transfer functions which are not quotients of polynomials in s, but in s^a, a =1/q, being q a positive integer. As can be verified in the literature, such transfer functions arise in the characterization of many industrial processes and physical systems which can be adequately modeled using fractional calculus, or when modelling some distributed parameter systems by finite dimensional models. Taking into account that fractional-order systems and controllers have a limited diffusion, after a brief exposition of the principal results of the traditional Wiener-Hopf method, some fundamental considerations about the dynamical properties of such systems are made. After that, the authors propose a procedure that allows the application of the method to the mentioned class of systems. An illustrative example is given. CD001482.PDF (From Author) TOP
