On the solution of an optimal control problem with a terminal functional for a homogeneous bilinear system (Q1841311)

Some control problems for a simplest differential model of proliferation cycles are considered. The bilinear control system \[ \dot x(t)= (A + u(t)bc^\times)x(t) \tag{1} \] is investigated, where \(t \in[0, T]\), \(T>0\), \(x(t)\) is a vector-function (\(X(0)=X^0 \neq 0\)), \(A(t)\) is the \(n\times n\)-matrix, \(u(t)\) is a control function, \(b, c \in {\mathbb R}^n\) are non-zero vectors (the symbol ``\(\times\)'' means the transposed matrix). Under some assumptions a finite-dimensional analytic parametrization of moments of control switching is obtained. An algorithm of solving the problem (1) is presented and its realization in MAPLE is provided. The results of investigations are presented in a form of graphs of the optimal control function \(u(t)\) and the optimal trajectories \(x(t)\).
