Optimal impulsive control for time delay systems
Giovanni Fusco, Monica Motta, Richard Vinter
We introduce discontinuous solutions to nonlinear impulsive control systems with state time delays in the dynamics and derive necessary optimality conditions in the form of a Maxim…
Regularity of the Hamiltonian along Optimal Trajectories
Michele Palladino, Richard B. Vinter
This paper concerns state constrained optimal control problems, in which the dynamic constraint takes the form of a differential inclusion. If the differential inclusion does not d…
Normality and Gap Phenomena in Optimal Unbounded Control
Monica Motta, Franco Rampazzo, Richard Vinter
Optimal unbounded control problems with affine control dependence may fail to have minimizers in the class of absolutely continuous state trajectories. For this reason, extended im…
Optimal Control Problems with Time Delays (Preliminary Version)
Andrea Boccia, Richard B. Vinter
This paper provides necessary conditions of optimality for optimal control problems with time delays in both state and control variables. Different versions of the necessary condit…
Multifunctions of Bounded Variation, Preliminary Version I
R. B. Vinter
Consider control systems described by a differential equation with a control term or, more generally, by a differential inclusion with velocity set . Certain properties of…
Decomposition of Differential Games
Adriano Festa, Richard Vinter
This paper provides a decomposition technique for the purpose of simplifying the solution of certain zero-sum differential games. The games considered terminate when the state reac…
A decomposition technique for pursuit evasion games with many pursuers
Adriano Festa, Richard B. Vinter
Here we present a decomposition technique for a class of differential games. The technique consists in a decomposition of the target set which produces, for geometrical reasons, a…
Characterization of the solution to a constrained H-infinity optimal control problem
D. Q. Mayne, S. V. Rakovic, R. B. Vinter +1
This paper characterizes the solution to a finite horizon min-max optimal control problem where the system is linear and discrete-time with control and state constraints, and the c…
