Nonlinear Uncertain Systems and Necessary Conditions of Optimality

From MaRDI portal





The system under consideration is characterized by a Cauchy problem for a differential equation with uncertainties in a Banach space. The optimal control problem is formulated in terms of the best guaranteed result: the performance criterion to be minimized equals the greatest value of an integral functional over all admissible values of the uncertain parameter. Therefore, one deals with a min-max problem and a pair control -- an uncertain parameter is called optimal if it is a saddle point of the functional. The main result of the paper is a theorem providing necessary conditions of optimality. Although the authors set the optimal control problem in terms of general differential inclusions, the theorem assumes a specific parameterization of the right-hand side. So the result is not applicable to the problem under consideration in all generality. As an illustration, a control system governed by a quasi-linear parabolic equation with uncertain coefficients is considered. It is observed that under certain conditions the assumptions of the main theorem are fulfilled. The same observation is performed for a more special case of an uncertain control system governed by a reaction-diffusion-transport equation.
