"Functional Type Error Majorants for Optimal Control Problems".

Einladung (PDF-file)

Abstract:

We present an approach to the a posteriori analysis of a class of optimal control problems governed by elliptic partial differential equations with constraints in the control. It is based on functional type a posteriori estimates that provide sharp bounds for the error with respect to any feasible approximation of the state. They allow to derive computable two-sided a posteriori estimates for the cost functional and give rise to a posteriori estimates of errors in the control and the state, measured in a combined norm.

"Global Optimization of Discrete Topology Design Problems".

Einladung (PDF-file)

Abstract:

A classical problem within the field of structural topology optimization is to find the stiffest structure subject to multiple loads and a bound on the volume (or weight) of the structure. We minimize a weighted average of the compliances, i.e. the inverse of the stiffness. The design variables describe the cross sectional areas of the bars in a truss or fiber directions in laminated composite structure. This class of optimal design problems is well-studied for continuous design variables. We consider the situation that the variables are discrete.
Our goal is to compute guaranteed globally optimal structures. We present a method for the computation of a global optimizer of the underlying non-convex mixed discrete problem. The method is a finitely convergent nonlinear branch and cut method tailored to solve large-scale instances of the original discrete problem. The branch and cut algorithm is based on solving a sequence of continuous relaxations, which are obtained by relaxing the discreteness requirements. The main effect of this approach lies in the fact that these relaxed problems can be equivalently reformulated as all-quadratic convex problems and thus can be efficiently solved to global optimality.
The presented nonlinear branch and cut method is numerically compared to a commercial branch and cut method applied to convex mixed 0-1 equivalent reformulations of the original discrete problem. The commercial software solves significantly more relaxations. The main reason for this behavior is explained by comparing the strength of the relaxations used. We present global optimal solutions to several large-scale numerical examples.

über das Thema

"Stabilitätsanalyse und Entwurf nichtlinearer prädiktiver Regelungsverfahren ohne Endbeschränkungen".

Zusammenfassung (PDF-file):

Die Prädiktive Regelung (im Englischen “model predictive control” oder “receding horizon control”) ist eine weit verbreitete Methode zur online-optimierungsbasierten Regelung komplexer Systeme. Obwohl seit den 1970er Jahren industriell genutzt, wurden wichtige Aspekte dieses Verfahrens – insbesondere im nichtlinearen Fall – erst in den letzten Jahren mathematisch verstanden.
In diesem Vortrag wird zunächst eine ausführliche Einführung in die prädiktive Regelung gegeben und dann eine neue Methode zur Analyse von Effizienz und Stabilität dieser Verfahren vorgestellt. Darauf aufbauend wird schließlich an Beispielen erläutert, wie man das online zu lösende Optimalsteuerungsproblem formulieren kann, so dass dieses einfach (und damit schnell) zu lösen ist und gleichzeitig zu einer effizienten und zuverlässigen Regelung führt.

"The One-Sided Lipschitz Condition in Differential Inclusions".

Abstract (PDF-file):

Differential inclusions (differential equations with sets replacing the right-hand sides) appear naturally in the control theory and in differential equations with discontinuous or uncertain right-hand sides.
The classical theory of ODEs and estimates for discrete approximations usually require Lipschitz continuity of the right-hand side in the state variable. The weaker one-sided Lipschitz (OSL) condition is known for a long time in the theory of stiff ODE. Proper extensions of this condition to set-valued functions appeared in 1990. The OSL condition we consider generalizes the classical Lipschitz condition and notions of dissipative/ monotone single-valued and set-valued functions.
In the generalized Filippov theorem (1998), the exponential Lipschitz stability of the trajectories set was established for inclusions with OSL right-hand sides.
If the OSL constant is negative, the system is strongly (set-valued) dissipative.
We survey various results following from this theorem:
Finally, some open problems are discussed.
