An approach to optimal actuator design based on shape and topology optimisation techniques is presented. For linear diffusion equations, two scenarios are considered. For the first one, best actuators are determined depending on a given initial condition. In the second scenario, optimal actuators are determined based on all initial conditions not exceeding a chosen norm. Shape and topological sensitivities of these cost functionals are determined. A numerical algorithm for optimal actuator design based on the sensitivities and a level-set method is presented. Numerical results support the proposed methodology.

Optimal actuator design for a vibration control problem is calculated. The actuator shape is optimized according to the closed-loop performance of the resulting linear-quadratic regulator and a penalty on the actuator size. The optimal actuator shape is found by means of shape calculus and a topological derivative of the linear-quadratic regulator (LQR) performance index. An abstract framework is proposed based on the theory for infinite-dimensional optimization of both the actuator shape and the associated control problem. A numerical realization of the optimality condition is presented for the actuator shape using a level-set method for topological derivatives. A Numerical example illustrating the design of actuator for Euler-Bernoulli beam model is provided.

In this report, we present a new Linear-Quadratic Semistabilizers (LQS) theory for linear network systems. This new semistable H2 control framework is developed to address the robust and optimal semistable control issues of network systems while pres erving network topology subject to white noise. Two new notions of semistabilizability and semicontrollability are introduced as a means to connecting semistability with the Lyapunov equation based technique. With these new notions, we first develop a semistable H2 control theory for network systems by exploiting the properties of semistability. A new series of necessary and sufficient conditions for semistability of the closed-loop system have been derived in terms of the Lyapunov equation. Based on these results, we propose a constrained optimization technique to solve the semistable H2 network-topology-preserving control design for network systems over an admissible set. Then optimization analysis and the development of numerical algorithms for the obtained constrained optimization problem are conducted. We establish the existence of optimal solutions for the obtained nonconvex optimization problem over some admissible set. Next, we propose a heuristic swarm optimization based numerical algorithm towards efficiently solving this nonconvex, nonlinear optimization problem. Finally, several numerical examples will be provided.
We reconsider the variational integration of optimal control problems for mechanical systems based on a direct discretization of the Lagrange-dAlembert principle. This approach yields discrete dynamical constraints which by construction preserve impo rtant structural properties of the system, like the evolution of the momentum maps or the energy behavior. Here, we employ higher order quadrature rules based on polynomial collocation. The resulting variational time discretization decreases the overall computational effort.
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 qua dratic 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.
The goal of this paper is to make Optimal Experimental Design (OED) computationally feasible for problems involving significant computational expense. We focus exclusively on the Mean Objective Cost of Uncertainty (MOCU), which is a specific methodol ogy for OED, and we propose extensions to MOCU that leverage surrogates and adaptive sampling. We focus on reducing the computational expense associated with evaluating a large set of control policies across a large set of uncertain variables. We propose reducing the computational expense of MOCU by approximating intermediate calculations associated with each parameter/control pair with a surrogate. This surrogate is constructed from sparse sampling and (possibly) refined adaptively through a combination of sensitivity estimation and probabilistic knowledge gained directly from the experimental measurements prescribed from MOCU. We demonstrate our methods on example problems and compare performance relative to surrogate-approximated MOCU with no adaptive sampling and to full MOCU. We find evidence that adaptive sampling does improve performance, but the decision on whether to use surrogate-approximated MOCU versus full MOCU will depend on the relative expense of computation versus experimentation. If computation is more expensive than experimentation, then one should consider using our approach.
