Sussmann, Volume: 1, Page 558 Paper number 3301 Abstract: We present a general axiomatic definition of the concept of a "generalized differentiation theory" (GDT) and state a version of the hybrid finite-dimensional Pontryagin Maximum Principle for arbitrary GDTs that have a directional open mapping property. We illustrate the notion of GDT by means of two recent examples: the generalized differential quotients and the path-integral generalized differentials. CD003301.PDF (From Author) TOP The Chattering Limit of Singularly Perturbed Optimal Control Problems Authors: Zvi Artstein, Volume: 1, Page 564 Paper number 3302 Abstract: The paper examines the structure of the variational limits that may arise in connection with singularly perturbed optimal control problems. Once the notion of a variational limit is displayed, we analyze the roles of the fast and slow components of the singularly perturbed system in the generation of the variational limits. Comparing a general form of variational limits for singularly perturbed systems to the method of order reduction, which is largely used --- yet a special case, is a goal of the paper. CD003302.PDF (From Author) TOP Solution of Hamilton Jacobi Bellman Equations Authors: Carmeliza L. Navasca, Arthur J. Krener, Volume: 1, Page 570 Paper number 3303 Abstract: We present a new method for the numerical solution of the Hamilton Jacobi Bellman PDE that arises in an infinite time optimal control problem. The method can be of higher order to reduce "the curse of dimensionality". It proceeds in two stages. First the HJB PDE is solved in a neighborhood of the origin using the power series method of Al'brecht. From a boundary point of this neighborhood, an extremal trajectory is computed backward in time using the Pontryagin Maximum Principle. Then ordinary differential equations are developed for the higher partial derivatives of the solution along the extremal. These are solved yielding a power series for the approximate solution in a neighborhood of the extremal. This is repeated for other extremals and these approximate solutions are fitted together by transferring them to a rectangular grid using splines. CD003303.PDF (From Author) TOP Abnormal Extremals for Generic Planar Systems Authors: Ugo Boscain, Benedetto Piccoli, Volume: 1, Page 575 Paper number 3304 Abstract: For a generic single input planar control system we analyze the properties of abnormal extremals for the minimum time stabilization to the origin. We prove that abnormal extremals are finite concatenations of bang arcs and we we study the switching strategy. Moreover, all the singularities of one parametric families of extremal trajectories near to abnormal extremals are studied. In particular we prove that all possible sequences of these singularities can be classified by a set of words recognizable by an automaton. This permits to prove that all the singularities of the projection of the extremal locus to the plane, studied in a previous paper, are in fact realized. CD003304.PDF (From Author) TOP Stability and Robustness of Optimal Synthesis for Route Tracking by Dubins' Vehicles Authors: Andrea Balluchi, Antonio Bicchi, Benedetto Piccoli, Philippe Soueres, Volume: 1, Page 581 Paper number 3305 Abstract: In this paper we consider the properties of stability and robustness of an optimal control synthesis obtained for the problem of route tracking by a kinematic vehicle moving forward only with a lower bounded turning radius. This model, sometimes referred to as ``Dubins' vehicle'', is relevant to the kinematics of road vehicles as well as aircraft cruising at constant altitude, or sea vessels. CD003305.PDF (From Author) TOP Toward Optimal Control of Switched Linear Systems Authors: Magnus Egerstedt, Petter Ögren, Omid Shakernia, John Lygeros, Volume: 1, Page 587 Paper number 3306 Abstract: We investigate the problem of driving the state of a switched linear control system between boundary states. We propose tight lower bounds for the minimum energy control problem. Furthermore, we show that the fact that the system dynamics change discontinuously on the switching surface gives rise to phenomena that can be treated as a decidability problem for hybrid control systems. Applying recent results on controller synthesis for hybrid systems with linear continuous dynamics, we show that the problem of computing the minimum number of switchings of a trajectory between two boundary points is semi-decidable. CD003306.PDF (From Author) TOP L-Infinity Problem For Finite-Word-Length Controller Design Authors: Weihua Xu, Jun Wu, Jian Chu, Volume: 1, Page 593 Paper number 8002 Abstract: A l-inf control problem is formulated for digital finite-word-length (FWL) controllers with synchronous sampling and fixed-point arithmetic. The l-inf FWL controllers design problem is reduced to the problem of solving a Quadratic Matrix Inequality (QMI) such that the closed-loop system is asymptotically stable. The approach can be generalized to deal with other problems such as H-inf ,H-2 and LQR FWL control problem. CD008002.PDF (From Author) TOP
