Optimality conditions for the calculus of variations with higher-order delta derivatives

Rui A. C. Ferreira, Agnieszka B. Malinowska, Delfim F. M. Torres

We prove the Euler-Lagrange delta-differential equations for problems of the calculus of variations on arbitrary time scales with delta-integral functionals depending on higher-ord…

Modified Optimal Energy and Initial Memory of Fractional Continuous-Time Linear Systems

Dorota Mozyrska, Delfim F. M. Torres

Fractional systems with Riemann-Liouville derivatives are considered. The initial memory value problem is posed and studied. We obtain explicit steering laws with respect to the va…

Delta-Nabla Optimal Control Problems

Ewa Girejko, Agnieszka B. Malinowska, Delfim F. M. Torres

We present a unified treatment to control problems on an arbitrary time scale by introducing the study of forward-backward optimal control problems. Necessary optimality conditions…
