报告摘要：

Inthis talk, we will present the formulations of four classes of optimal controlproblems: (i) standard optimal control problems; (ii) optimal discrete valuedcontrol problems; (iii) optimal control of nonlinear switched systems; and (iv)optimal control problems with minimum control variation. Our emphasis will thenmove to engineering applications of these optimal control formulations.

Forthe standard optimal control problem, we will present two real worldapplications. The first one is a realistic and complex problem of transferringcontainers from a ship to a cargo truck at a port. The container crane isdriven by a hoist motor and a trolley drive motor. The second one arises in thestudy of soft landing control laws for a lunar module.

Forthe optimal discrete valued control problem, we will present two engineeringapplications: (a) optimal strategies forthe control of a train; and (b) sensorscheduling.

Foroptimal control of nonlinear switched systems, we will look at the followingthree applications: (a) switched-capacitor DC/DC power converters; (b)fed-batch fermentation process; and (c) submarine battery management.

Foroptimal control problem with minimum control variation, the following twoapplications will be addressed: (a) optimal train control; and (b) optimalfishery harvesting.

Itis hoped that this seminar will stimulate research interests in optimal controlcomputation and its many fascinating engineering applications.
