One of the foundational principles of optimal control theory is that optimal control laws are propagated backward in time. For linear-quadratic control, this means that the solution of the Riccati equation must be obtained from backward integration from a final-time condition. These features are a direct consequence of the transversality conditions of optimal control, which imply that a free final state corresponds to a fixed final adjoint state [1], [2]. In addition, the principle of dynamic programming and the associated Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation is an inherently backward-propagating methodology [3].

Time-constrained temporal logic control of multi-affine systems
Aydın Göl, Ebru (Elsevier BV, 2013-11-01)
In this paper, we consider the problem of controlling a dynamical system such that its trajectories satisfy a temporal logic property in a given amount of time. We focus on multi-affine systems and specifications given as syntactically co-safe linear temporal logic formulas over rectangular regions in the state space. The proposed algorithm is based on estimating the time bounds for facet reachability problems and solving a time optimal reachability problem on the product between a weighted transition syste...
Local improvements to reduced-order approximations of optimal control problems governed by diffusion-convection-reaction equation
Akman, Tuğba (2015-07-01)
We consider the optimal control problem governed by diffusion-convection-reaction equation without control constraints. The proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) method is used to reduce the dimension of the problem. The POD method may lack accuracy if the POD basis depending on a set of parameters is used to approximate the problem depending on a different set of parameters. To increase the accuracy and the robustness of the basis, we compute five bases additional to the baseline POD in case of the perturb...
Maximally Permissive Hierarchical Control of Decentralized Discrete Event Systems
SCHMİDT, KLAUS WERNER; Schmidt, Klaus Verner (2011-04-01)
The subject of this paper is the synthesis of natural projections that serve as nonblocking and maximally permissive abstractions for the hierarchical and decentralized control of large-scale discrete event systems. To this end, existing concepts for nonblocking abstractions such as natural observers and marked string accepting (msa)-observers are extended by local control consistency (LCC) as a novel sufficient condition for maximal permissiveness. Furthermore, it is shown that, similar to the natural obse...

Variational time discretization methods for optimal control problems governed by diffusion-convection-reaction equations
Akman, Tugba; Karasözen, Bülent (2014-12-15)
In this paper, the distributed optimal control problem governed by unsteady diffusion-convection-reaction equation without control constraints is studied. Time discretization is performed by variational discretization using continuous and discontinuous Galerkin methods, while symmetric interior penalty Galerkin with upwinding is used for space discretization. We investigate the commutativity properties of the optimize-then-discretize and discretize-then-optimize approaches for the continuous and discontinuo...
