Title: Uniqueness of the Riccati operator of the non-standard ARE of a third order dynamics with boundary control
Abstract The Moore-Gibson-Thompson [MGT] dynamics is considered. This third order in time evolution arises within the context of acoustic wave propagation with applications in high frequency ultrasound technology. The optimal boundary feedback control is constructed in order to have on-line regulation. The above requires wellposedness of the associated Algebraic Riccati Equation. The paper by Lasiecka and Triggiani (2022) recently contributed a comprehensive study of the Optimal Control Problem for the MGT-third order dynamics with boundary control, over an infinite time-horizon. A critical missing point in such a study is the issue of uniqueness (within a specific class) of the corresponding highly non-standard Algebraic Riccati Equation. The present note resolves this problem in the positive, thus completing the study of Lasiecka and Triggiani (2022) with the final goal of having on line feedback control, which is also optimal.  more » « less

    Abstract This paper provides a (rigorous) theoretical framework for the numerical approximation of Riccati-based feedback control problems of hyperbolic-like dynamics over a finite-time horizon, with emphasis on genuine unbounded control action. Both continuous and approximation theories are illustrated by specific canonical hyperbolic-like equations with boundary control, where the abstract assumptions are actually sharp regularity properties of the hyperbolic dynamics under discussion. Assumptions are divided in two groups. A first group of dynamical assumptions (actually dynamic properties) imply some preliminary critical properties of the control problem, including the definition of the would-be Riccati operator, in terms of the original data. However, in order to guarantee that such an operator is moreover the unique solution (within a specific class) of the corresponding Differential/Integral Riccati Equation, additional smoothing assumptions on the operators defining the performance index are required. The ultimate goal is to show that the the discrete finite dimensional Riccati based feedback operator, when inserted into the original PDE dynamics, provides near optimal performance.

    This paper considers a class of distributed parameter systems that can be controlled by an actuator onboard a mobile platform. In order to avoid computational costs and control architecture complexity associated with a joint optimization of actuator guidance and control law, a suboptimal policy is proposed that significantly reduces the computational costs. By utilizing a continuous-discrete optimal control design, a mobile actuator moves to a new position at the beginning of a new time interval and resides for a prescribed time. Using the cost to go with variable lower limit, the optimization simplifies to solving algebraic Riccati equations instead of differential Riccati equations. Adding a hardware feature whereby the mobile sensors are constrained to stay within the proximity of the mobile actuator, a feedback kernel decomposition scheme is proposed to approximate a full state feedback controller by the weighted sum of sensor measurements.

    A general problem encompassing output regulation and pattern generation can be formulated as the design of controllers to achieve convergence to a persistent trajectory within the zero dynamics on which an output vanishes. We develop an optimal control theory for such design by adding the requirement to minimize the H2 norm of a closed-loop transfer function. Within the framework of eigenstructure assignment, the optimal control is proven identical to the standard H2 control in form. However, the solution to the Riccati equation for the linear quadratic regulator is not stabilizing. Instead it partially stabilizes the closed-loop dynamics excluding the zero dynamics. The optimal control architecture is shown to have the feedback of the deviation from the subspace of the zero dynamics and the feedforward of the control input to remain in the subspace.

    A linear-quadratic optimal control problem for a forward stochastic Volterra integral equation (FSVIE) is considered. Under the usual convexity conditions, open-loop optimal control exists, which can be characterized by the optimality system, a coupled system of an FSVIE and a type-II backward SVIE (BSVIE). To obtain a causal state feedback representation for the open-loop optimal control, a path-dependent Riccati equation for an operator-valued function is introduced, via which the optimality system can be decoupled. In the process of decoupling, a type-III BSVIE is introduced whose adapted solution can be used to represent the adapted M-solution of the corresponding type-II BSVIE. Under certain conditions, it is proved that the path-dependent Riccati equation admits a unique solution, which means that the decoupling field for the optimality system is found. Therefore, a causal state feedback representation of the open-loop optimal control is constructed. An additional interesting finding is that when the control only appears in the diffusion term, not in the drift term of the state system, the causal state feedback reduces to a Markovian state feedback.

    This paper presents a novel learning-based adaptive optimal controller design for linear time-delay systems described by delay differential equations (DDEs). A key strategy is to exploit the value iteration (VI) approach to solve the linear quadratic optimal control problem for time-delay systems. However, previous learning-based control methods are all exclusively devoted to discrete-time time-delay systems. In this article, we aim to fill in the gap by developing a learning-based VI approach to solve the infinite-dimensional algebraic Riccati equation (ARE) for continuous-time time-delay systems. One nice feature of the proposed VI approach is that an initial admissible controller is not required to start the algorithm. The efficacy of the proposed methodology is demonstrated by the example of autonomous driving.
