Optimal control of systems described by ordinary differential equations with nonlinear characteristics of the hysteresis type (Q1316234)

Chapter 1: It is demonstrated that hysteresis should be depicted by the hysteresis operator \(W\). The state equation of the plant including hysteresis is described. The objective function to be minimized is described, and the problem (K), the initial problem, is defined. Chapter 2: This chapter is devoted to a description of hysteresis operator \(W\). \(W\) is defined by means of two boundary curves and a family of interior curves. A hysteresis is defined, where a hysteresis of the first kind is distinguished from the one of the second kind. Chapter 3: The problem (P) is obtained from (K) by transforming the time variable. The property of (P) is stated. Chapter 4: The problem (P) is approximated by a smooth problem \((\text{P}_ \varepsilon)\). It is shown that the problem \((\text{P}_ \varepsilon)\) has a solution. Chapter 5: It is established that the solution of \((\text{P}_ \varepsilon)\) converges to that of (P) as \(\varepsilon\to 0\). Chapter 6: Necessary condition for optimality in \((\text{P}_ \varepsilon)\) is obtained. Chapter 7: Sufficient condition for the boundedness of the quantity \({1\over h}\| f_ T y_ \varepsilon(1),z_ \varepsilon(1)\|\), which was introduced into the objective function in \((\text{P}_ \varepsilon)\), is presented. Chapter 8: Necessary condition for optimality in (P) is obtained.
