This result connects the so-called projective approach to an LMI problem which is more amenable to computer solution, and hence for design.

The obtained result is as follows: For the unbounded case, SOS approach and our new SV approach are equivalent; for the bounded case, our new SV approach is less conservative with increased number of decision variables compared to SOS approach.

These constrained optimal control problems include Riemannian, sub-Riemannian, elastic and mechanical problems. We begin by lifting these problems, through the Maximum Principle, to their associated Hamiltonian formalism. As the base manifold is a Lie group G the cotangent bundle is realized as the direct product G×g* where g* is the dual of the Lie algebra g of G. The solutions to these Hamiltonian vector fields l ∈ g*, are called extremal curves and the projections g(t) ∈ G are the corresponding optimal solutions. The main contribution of this paper is a method for deriving explicit expressions relating the extremal curves l ∈ g* to the optimal solutions g(t) ∈ G for the special cases of the Lie groups SO(4) and SO(1,3). This method uses the double cover property of these Lie groups to decouple them into lower dimensional systems. These lower dimensional systems are then solved in terms of the extremals using a coordinate representation and the systems dynamic constraints. This illustrates that the optimal solutions g(t) ∈ G are explicitly dependent on the extremal curves.","PeriodicalId":407048,"journal":{"name":"2007 European Control Conference (ECC)","volume":"24 2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128449992","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The algorithm is based upon the concepts of dynamic programming and multi-parametric programming. The multi-stage problem is considered within a framework of dynamic programming where each echelon of problem is formulated and solved as a multi-parametric program. The state-space of a given stage constitutes the parametric space whereas the state-space of the next stage represents the space of control or optimisation variables. The solution of the resulting multi-parametric program is given by the control or the optimization variables as a set of explicit functions of the parameters. The dynamic recursive nature of the multi-stage problem is preserved and a set of sequential and simpler multi-parametric programs which are constrained by a reduced number of inequalities is obtained. This results in a reduction in the complexity of the overall problem. The underlying theory is described in detail and numerical examples are presented to illustrate the potential of this new approach.","PeriodicalId":407048,"journal":{"name":"2007 European Control Conference (ECC)","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114972636","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The system would provide support to the technicians who monitor plants by signalling the occurrence of abnormal plant measurements marking the onset of a fault condition. To be practical such a system must meet strict standards, in terms of low detection latency, a very low rate of false positive detection and high classification accuracy. Experiments were conducted on examples generated by a simulation of the Tennessee Eastman process and these were preprocessed and classified using a support vector machine. Experiments also considered the efficacy of preprocessing observations using Fisher Discriminant Analysis and a strategy for combining the decisions from a bank of classifiers to improve accuracy when dealing with multiple fault categories.","PeriodicalId":407048,"journal":{"name":"2007 European Control Conference (ECC)","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115134835","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, for certain optimal control problems with state constraints, it might happen that the set of all admissible solutions coincides with the set of candidates satisfying the NCO. This phenomenon is known as the degeneracy phenomenon and there has been some literature proposing stronger forms of NCO that can be informative in such cases: the so-called nondegenerate NCO. The nondegenerate NCO proposed here are valid under a different set of hypothesis and under a constraint qualification of an integral-type that, in relation to some previous literature, is easier to verify.","PeriodicalId":407048,"journal":{"name":"2007 European Control Conference (ECC)","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115163479","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Within this framework, the discrete-time version of the well-known Hartman-Grobman Theorem can be naturally reproduced as a special case.
