We apply an idealized sampler and a zero-order hold to a feedback loop around the controller. Then, is the sampled-data system strongly stable for all sufficiently small sampling periods? Furthermore, is the polynomial decay of the continuous-time system transferred to the sampled-data system under sufficiently fast sampling?” The generator of the open-loop system is assumed to be a Riesz-spectral operator whose eigenvalues are not on the imaginary axis but may approach it asymptotically. We provide conditions for strong stability to be preserved under fast sampling. Moreover, we estimate the decay rate of the state of the sampled-data system with a smooth initial state and a sufficiently small sampling period.","PeriodicalId":50500,"journal":{"name":"Esaim-Control Optimisation and Calculus of Variations","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2022-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87199416","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Firstly, we prove the existence and uniqueness of the optimal control, and by using Pontryagin’s maximum principle we get the dual characterization of optimal control; Secondly, by introducing the adjoint processes of the state equation, establishing a stochastic Hamiltonian system and using decoupling technology, we deduce two integro-differential Riccati equations and get the feedback representation of the optimal control under partial information; Thirdly, the existence and uniqueness of the solutions of the two associated integro-differential Riccati equations are proved; Finally, we discuss a special case, and by means of filtering technique, establish the corresponding the filtering state feedback representation of the optimal control.","PeriodicalId":50500,"journal":{"name":"Esaim-Control Optimisation and Calculus of Variations","volume":"14 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2022-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89343195","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Preliminary results concerning the differentiability of the functions involved are established, especially the so-called switching function. Using this ansatz, more general nonlinear perturbations are encompassed, and under weaker assumptions, than the ones previously considered in the literature on control constrained elliptic problems. Finally, the applicability of the results is illustrated with some error estimates for the Tikhonov regularization.","PeriodicalId":50500,"journal":{"name":"Esaim-Control Optimisation and Calculus of Variations","volume":"34 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2022-04-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81103766","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
