Controllability and minimum energy control (Q721118)

This book represents a systematic study of controllability problems. The controllability concept is introduced in Chapter 1 and its significance for different classes of control systems is briefly explained. Chapter 2 concerns continuous-time linear control systems. Characterizations of stabilizability, of output controllability and of controllability with and without control constraints are presented. The minimum energy control problem is posed and its solution is explicitly given. A linear dynamical system containing both multiple lumped time-varying delays and distributed delays in the state variables, and multiple lumped time-varying delays in the control is considered in Chapter 3. A characterization of the relative controllability in a finite interval is presented. The solution of the corresponding minimum energy control problem is explicitly given. A finite-dimensional control system described by a linear higher-order ordinary differential equation with multiple point delays in the control is considered in Chapter 4. A characterization of the relative controllability in a given finite time interval is proved. An illustrative example is also presented. A finite-dimensional control system described by ordinary differential equations is considered in Chapter 5 in the presence of multiple point delays in the control. A sufficient condition for relative constrained controllability in a finite time interval is proved. Also, a characterization of the relative controllability in a finite interval of a linear dynamical system with multiple point delays in the control (associated with the original semilinear control system) is obtained. Moreover, sufficient and necessary conditions for approximately positive controllability of a linear infinite-dimensional time-invariant control system are given. A sufficient condition for constrained local controllability in a finite time interval for a semilinear second-order stationary control system with single point delay in control is proved in Chapter 6. Moreover, the global constrained controllability of a suitable linear system (associated with the original one) is characterized. Also, using the frequency-domain method, the constrained approximate controllability problem for a linear infinite-dimensional second-order control system is reduced to studying the same problem for a suitable defined first-order system. Infinite-dimensional (finite-dimensional) fractional control system described by a difference state equation is considered in Chapter 7 (in Chapter 8, respectively). Necessary and sufficient conditions for exact controllability in a prescribed number of steps is proved. Also, the solution of the corresponding minimum energy problem is explicitly given. Finite-dimensional fractional control system described by a semilinear difference state equation is considered in Chapter 9. A sufficient condition for exact controllability in a prescribed number of steps is proved. Also, a characterization of the global controllability in a prescribed number of steps of a linear control system (associated with the original one) is given. Finite-dimensional fractional control system with multiple delays in control, described by a semilinear difference state equation, is considered in Chapter 10. A sufficient condition for unconstrained local controllability in a prescribed number of steps is proved. An illustrative example is also presented. A finite-dimensional linear nonstationary stochastic dynamical system with multiple time-variable point delays (distributed delays) in control is considered in Chapter 11 (in Chapter 12, respectively). Based on the deterministic approach, necessary and sufficient conditions for exact and approximate stochastic relative controllability are obtained. Special attention is paid in Chapter 11 on stationary systems with multiple constant delays in the control as well as on systems with single time-variable point delay in the control. Also, the minimum energy problem is explicitly solved for stationary systems with multiple delays as well as for nonstationary systems with single delay in the control.
