A computational method based on Bézier control points is presented to solve optimal control problems governed by time varying linear dynamical systems subject to terminal state equality constraints and state inequality constraints. The method approximates each of the system state variables and each of the control variables by a Bézier curve of unknown control points.The new approximated problems converted to a quadratic programming problem which can be solved more easily than the original problem. Some examples are given to verify the efficiency and reliability of the proposed method.Mathematical subject classification: 49N10.
The quadratic Riccati differential equations are a class of nonlinear differential equations of much importance, and play a significant role in many fields of applied science. This paper introduces an efficient method for solving the quadratic Riccati differential equation and the Riccati differential-difference equation. In this technique, the Bezier curves method is considered as an algorithm to find the approximate solution of the nonlinear Riccati equation. Some examples in different cases are given to demonstrate simplicity and efficiency of the proposed method.
In this paper, Bezier surface form is used to find the approximate solution of delay differential equations (DDE’s). By using a recurrence relation and the traditional least square minimization method, the best control points of residual function can be found where those control points determine the approximate solution of DDE. Some examples are given to show efficiency of the proposed method
This paper presents a new approach for solving optimal control problems for switched systems. We focus on problems in which a pre-specified sequence of active subsystems is given. For such problems, we need to seek both the optimal switching instants and the optimal continuous inputs. A Bezier control points method is applied for solving an optimal control problem which is supervised by a switched dynamic system. Two steps of approximation exist here. First, the time interval is divided into sub-intervals. Second, the trajectory and control functions are approximatedby Bezier curves in each subinterval. Bezier curves have been considered as piecewise polynomials of degree , then they will be determined by control points on any subinterval. The optimal control problem is there by converted into a nonlinear programming problem (NLP), which can be solved by known algorithms. However in this paper the MATLAB optimization routine FMINCON is used for solving resulting NLP.
In this paper, the Bezier curves method is implemented to give approximate solutions for fractional differential-algebraic equations (FDAEs). This methods in applied mathematics can be used as approximated method for obtaining approximate solutions for different types of fractional differential equations. An illustrative example is included to demonstrate the validity and applicability of the suggested approach.
