Wijnbergen, Paul; Trenn, Stephan Impulse-free linear quadratic optimal control of switched differential algebraic equations Unpublished 2024, (provisionally accepted in "Communications in Optimization Theory"). Abstract | Links | BibTeX | Tags: optimal-control, piecewise-smooth-distributions, switched-DAEs, switched-systems @unpublished{WijnTren24pp,In this paper the finite horizon linear quadratic regulator (LQR) problem for switched linear differential algebraic equations is studied. It is shown that for switched DAEs with a switching signal that induces locally finitely many switches, the problem can be solved by recursively solving several LQR problems for non-switched DAE. First, it is shown how to solve the non-switched problems for index-1 DAEs followed by an extension of the results to higher index DAEs. The resulting optimal control can be computed based on the solution of a Riccati differential equation expressed in terms of the differential system matrices. The paper concludes with the extension of the results to the LQR problem for general switched DAEs. |

Wijnbergen, Paul; Trenn, Stephan Linear quadratic optimal control of switched differential algebraic equations Miscellaneous Extended Abstracts of the 25th International Symposium on Mathematical Theory of Networks and Systems, 2022. Abstract | Links | BibTeX | Tags: DAEs, optimal-control, switched-DAEs, switched-systems @misc{WijnTren22mb,In this abstract the finite horizon linear quadratic optimal control problem with constraints on the terminal state for switched differential algebraic equations is considered. Furthermore, we seek for an optimal solution that is impulse-free. In order to solve the problem, a non standard finite horizon problem for non-switched DAEs is considered. Necessary and sufficient conditions on the initial value x0 for solvability of this non standard problem are stated. Based on these results a sequence of subspaces can be defined which lead to necessary and sufficient conditions for solvability of the finite horizon optimal control problem for switched DAEs. |

Wijnbergen, Paul; Trenn, Stephan Optimal control of DAEs with unconstrained terminal costs Proceedings Article In: Proc. 60th IEEE Conf. Decision and Control (CDC 2021), pp. 5275-5280, 2021. Abstract | Links | BibTeX | Tags: DAEs, optimal-control, switched-DAEs, switched-systems @inproceedings{WijnTren21b,This paper is concerned with the linear quadratic optimal control problem for impulse controllable differential algebraic equations on a bounded half open interval. Regarding the cost functional, a general positive semi-definite weight matrix is considered in the terminal cost. It is shown that for this problem, there generally does not exist an input that minimizes the cost functional. First it is shown that the problem can be reduced to finding an input to an index-1 DAE that minimizes a different quadratic cost functional. Second, necessary and sufficient conditions in terms of matrix equations are given for the existence of an optimal control. |
