We revisit the optimal control problem of maximizing biogas production in continuous bio-processes in two directions: 1. over an infinite horizon, 2. with sub-optimal controllers independent of the time horizon. For the first point, we identify a set of optimal controls for the problems with an averaged reward and with a discounted reward when the discount factor goes to 0 and we show that the value functions of both problems are equal. For the finite horizon problem, our approach relies on a framing of the value function by considering a different reward for which the optimal solution has an explicit optimal feedback that is time-independent. In particular, we show that this technique allows us to provide explicit bounds on the sub-optimality of the proposed controllers. The various strategies are finally illustrated on Haldane and Contois growth functions.

We study a multiscale approach for the control of agent-based, two-population models. The control variable acts over one population of leaders, which influence the population of followers via the coupling generated by their interaction. We cast a quadratic optimal control problem for the large-scale microscale model, which is approximated via a Boltzmann approach. By sampling solutions of the optimal control problem associated to binary two-population dynamics, we generate sub-optimal control laws for the kinetic limit of the multi-population model. We present numerical experiments related to opinion dynamics assessing the performance of the proposed control design.
In this article, we provide sufficient conditions under which the controlled vector fields solution of optimal control problems formulated on continuity equations are Lipschitz regular in space. Our approach involves a novel combination of mean-field approximations for infinite-dimensional multi-agent optimal control problems, along with a careful extension of an existence result of locally optimal Lipschitz feedbacks. The latter is based on the reformulation of a coercivity estimate in the language of Wasserstein calculus, which is used to obtain uniform Lipschitz bounds along sequences of approximations by empirical measures.
This work discusses the finite element discretization of an optimal control problem for the linear wave equation with time-dependent controls of bounded variation. The main focus lies on the convergence analysis of the discretization method. The state equation is discretized by a space-time finite element method. The controls are not discretized. Under suitable assumptions optimal convergence rates for the error in the state and control variable are proven. Based on a conditional gradient method the solution of the semi-discretized optimal control problem is computed. The theoretical convergence rates are confirmed in a numerical example.
In this paper, we consider an optimal control problem for the two-dimensional evolutionary Navier-Stokes system. Looking for sparsity, we take controls as functions of time taking values in a space of Borel measures. The cost functional does not involve directly the control but we assume some constraints on them. We prove the well-posedness of the control problem and derive necessary and sufficient conditions for local optimality of the controls.
We consider a production-inventory control model with finite capacity and two different production rates, assuming that the cumulative process of customer demand is given by a compound Poisson process. It is possible at any time to switch over from the different production rates but it is mandatory to switch-off when the inventory process reaches the storage maximum capacity. We consider holding, production, shortage penalty and switching costs. This model was introduced by Doshi, Van Der Duyn Schouten and Talman in 1978. Our aim is to minimize the expected discounted cumulative costs up to infinity over all admissible switching strategies. We show that the optimal cost functions for the different production rates satisfy the corresponding Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman system of equations in a viscosity sense and prove a verification theorem. The way in which the optimal cost functions solve the different variational inequalities gives the switching regions of the optimal strategy, hence it is stationary in the sense that depends only on the current production rate and inventory level. We define the notion of finite band strategies and derive, using scale functions, the formulas for the different costs of the band strategies with one or two bands. We also show that there are examples where the switching strategy presented by Doshi et al. is not the optimal strategy.
