Computational Methods Optimal Control by Hager William (14 results)

PAP. Condition: New. New Book. Shipped from UK. Established seller since 2000.

Paperback. Condition: New. Using material from many different sources in a systematic and unified way, this self-contained book provides both rigorous mathematical theory and practical numerical insights while developing a framework for determining the convergence rate of discrete approximations to optimal control problems. Elements of the framework include the reference point, the truncation error, and a stability theory for the linearized first-order optimality conditions.Within this framework, the discretized control problem has a stationary point whose distance to the reference point is bounded in terms of the truncation error. The theory applies to a broad range of discretizations and provides completely new insights into the convergence theory for discrete approximations in optimal control, including the relationship between orthogonal collocation and Runge-Kutta methods.Throughout the book, derivatives associated with the discretized control problem are expressed in terms of a back-propagated costate. In particular, the objective derivative of a bang-bang or singular control problem with respect to a switch point of the control are obtained, which leads to the efficient solution of a class of nonsmooth control problems using a gradient-based optimizer.…

Unifying rigorous theory and numerical insights, this framework assesses convergence in discrete optimal control via truncation error bounds and stability analysis. It uncovers links between collocation, Runge-Kutta methods, and gradient-based strategies for tackling nonsmooth challenges.
