Solving Nonlinear Constrained Optimization Time Delay Systems with a Direct Transcription Approach

Surveys in Differential-Algebraic Equations III

The present volume comprises survey articles on various fields of Differential-Algebraic Equations (DAEs), which have widespread applications in controlled dynamical systems, especially in mechanical and electrical engineering and a strong relation to (ordinary) differential equations. The individual chapters provide reviews, presentations of the current state of research and new concepts in - Flexibility of DAE formulations - Reachability analysis and deterministic global optimization - Numerical linear algebra methods - Boundary value problems The results are presented in an accessible style, making this book suitable not only for active researchers but also for graduate students (with a good knowledge of the basic principles of DAEs) for self-study.

Control and Optimization with Differential-Algebraic Constraints

Differential-algebraic equations are the most natural way to mathematically model many complex systems in science and engineering. Once the model is derived, it is important to optimize the design parameters and control it in the most robust and efficient way to maximize performance. This book presents the latest theory and numerical methods for the optimal control of differential-algebraic equations. The following features are presented in a readable fashion so the results are accessible to the widest audience: the most recent theory, written by leading experts from a number of academic and nonacademic areas and departments; several state-of-the-art numerical methods; and real-world applications.
