Augmentability in Optimal Control

Javier F. Rosenblueth

Abstract


The main purpose of this talk is to show how the theory of augmentability in optimization can be successfully applied to optimal control problems. In particular, an assumption of augmentability is used in place of normality to establish first and second order necessary conditions for a minimum for optimal control problems involving mixed constraints. We illustrate the fact that one can have normality without augmentability and augmentability without normality. Moreover, this type of augmentability, based on generalized Hamiltonians, leads to a method for finding numerical solutions of constrained optimal control problems.

Disclaimer/Regarding indexing issue:

We have provided the online access of all issues and papers to the indexing agencies (as given on journal web site). It’s depend on indexing agencies when, how and what manner they can index or not. Hence, we like to inform that on the basis of earlier indexing, we can’t predict the today or future indexing policy of third party (i.e. indexing agencies) as they have right to discontinue any journal at any time without prior information to the journal. So, please neither sends any question nor expects any answer from us on the behalf of third party i.e. indexing agencies.Hence, we will not issue any certificate or letter for indexing issue. Our role is just to provide the online access to them. So we do properly this and one can visit indexing agencies website to get the authentic information. Also: DOI is paid service which provided by a third party. We never mentioned that we go for this for our any journal. However, journal have no objection if author go directly for this paid DOI service.
