Since trajectory optimization struggles to meet real-time requirements, the emergence of data-based generation methods has become a significant focus in contemporary research. However, due to the large differences in the characteristics of the optimal control laws caused by the diversity of tasks, it is difficult to achieve good prediction results by modeling all data with one single model.Therefore, the modeling idea of the mixture of experts(MoE) is adopted. Firstly, the K-means clustering algorithm is used to partition the sample data set, and the corresponding neural network classification model is established as the gate switch of MoE. Then, the expert models, i.e., the mappings from the generation conditions to the optimal control law represented by the results of principal component analysis(PCA), are represented by Kriging models. Finally, multiple rounds of accuracy evaluation, sample supplementation, and model updating are conducted to improve the generation accuracy. The Monte Carlo simulation shows that the accuracy of the proposed model reaches 96% and the generation efficiency meets the real-time requirement.展开更多

Firstly, the nonlinear SEIQR epidemic spreading dynamic differential coupling model is proposed. Then, by using mean-field theory and the next-generation matrix method, the equilibriums and basic reproduction number are derived. Theoretical results indicate that the basic reproduction number significantly relies on model parameters and topology of the underlying networks. In addition, the globally asymptotic stability of equilibrium and the permanence of the disease are proved in detail by the Routh–Hurwitz criterion, Lyapunov method and La Salle's invariance principle. Furthermore, we find that the quarantine mechanism, that is the quarantine rate(γ1, γ2), has a significant effect on epidemic spreading through sensitivity analysis of basic reproduction number and model parameters. Meanwhile, the optimal control model of quarantined rate and analysis method are proposed, which can optimize the government control strategies and reduce the number of infected individual. Finally, numerical simulations are given to verify the correctness of theoretical results and a practice application is proposed to predict and control the spreading of COVID-19.展开更多

文摘We present a robust quantum optimal control framework for implementing fast entangling gates on ion-trap quantum processors.The framework leverages tailored laser pulses to drive the multiple vibrational sidebands of the ions to create phonon-mediated entangling gates and,unlike the state of the art,requires neither weakcoupling Lamb-Dicke approximation nor perturbation treatment.With the application of gradient-based optimal control,it enables finding amplitude-and phase-modulated laser control protocols that work without the Lamb-Dicke approximation,promising gate speeds on the order of microseconds comparable to the characteristic trap frequencies.Also,robustness requirements on the temperature of the ions and initial optical phase can be conveniently included to pursue high-quality fast gates against experimental imperfections.Our approach represents a step in speeding up quantum gates to achieve larger quantum circuits for quantum computation and simulation,and thus can find applications in near-future experiments.

文摘This paper addresses the Singular Optimal Control Problem(SOCP)for a surface-to-air missile with limited control,fully considering aerodynamic effects with a parabolic drag polar.This problem is an extension of the typical Goddard problem.First,the classical Legendre-Clebsch condition is applied to derive optimal conditions for the singular angle of attack,revealing that the missile turns by gravity along the singular arc.Second,the higher-order differentiation of the switching function provides the necessary conditions to determine the optimal thrust,expressed as linear functions of the costate variables.The vanishing coefficient determinant is then employed to decouple the control and costate variables,yielding the singular thrust solely dependent on state variables and identifying the singular surface.Moreover,the analytical singular control can be regarded as path constraints subject to the typical Optimal Control Problem(OCP),enabling the GPOPS-Ⅱ,a direct method framework that does not involve the singular condition,to solve the SOCP.Finally,three cases with different structures are presented to evaluate the performance of the proposed method.The results show that it takes a few steps to obtain the numerical optimal solution,which is consistent with the analytical solution derived from the calculus of variations,highlighting its great computational accuracy and effectiveness.
文摘The electromagnetic levitation system(EMLS)serves as the most important part of any magnetic levitation system.However,its characteristics are defined by its highly nonlinear dynamics and instability.Furthermore,the uncertainties in the dynamics of an electromagnetic levitation system make the controller design more difficult.Therefore,it is necessary to design a robust control law that will ensure the system’s stability in the presence of these uncertainties.In this framework,the dynamics of an electromagnetic levitation system are addressed in terms of matched and unmatched uncertainties.The robust control problem is translated into the optimal control problem,where the uncertainties of the electromagnetic levitation system are directly reflected in the cost function.The optimal control method is used to solve the robust control problem.The solution to the optimal control problem for the electromagnetic levitation system is indeed a solution to the robust control problem of the electromagnetic levitation system under matched and unmatched uncertainties.The simulation and experimental results demonstrate the performance of the designed control scheme.The performance indices such as integral absolute error(IAE),integral square error(ISE),integral time absolute error(ITAE),and integral time square error(ITSE)are compared for both uncertainties to showcase the robustness of the designed control scheme.

文摘The co-infection of corona and influenza viruses has emerged as a significant threat to global public health due to their shared modes of transmission and overlapping clinical symptoms.This article presents a novel mathematical model that addresses the dynamics of this co-infection by extending the SEIR(Susceptible-Exposed-Infectious-Recovered)framework to incorporate treatment and hospitalization compartments.The population is divided into eight compartments,with infectious individuals further categorized into influenza infectious,corona infectious,and co-infection cases.The proposed mathematical model is constrained to adhere to fundamental epidemiological properties,such as non-negativity and boundedness within a feasible region.Additionally,the model is demonstrated to be well-posed with a unique solution.Equilibrium points,including the disease-free and endemic equilibria,are identified,and various properties related to these equilibrium points,such as the basic reproduction number,are determined.Local and global sensitivity analyses are performed to identify the parameters that highly influence disease dynamics and the reproduction number.Knowing the most influential parameters is crucial for understanding their impact on the co-infection’s spread and severity.Furthermore,an optimal control problem is defined to minimize disease transmission and to control strategy costs.The purpose of our study is to identify the most effective(optimal)control strategies for mitigating the spread of the co-infection with minimum cost of the controls.The results illustrate the effectiveness of the implemented control strategies in managing the co-infection’s impact on the population’s health.This mathematical modeling and control strategy framework provides valuable tools for understanding and combating the dual threat of corona and influenza co-infection,helping public health authorities and policymakers make informed decisions in the face of these intertwined epidemics.

文摘This article presents an adaptive optimal control method for a semi-active suspension system.The model of the suspension system is built,in which the components of uncertain parameters and exogenous disturbance are described.The adaptive optimal control law consists of the sum of the optimal control component and the adaptive control component.First,the optimal control law is designed for the model of the suspension system after ignoring the components of uncertain parameters and exogenous disturbance caused by the road surface.The optimal control law expresses the desired dynamic characteristics of the suspension system.Next,the adaptive component is designed with the purpose of compensating for the effects caused by uncertain parameters and exogenous disturbance caused by the road surface;the adaptive component has adaptive parameter rules to estimate uncertain parameters and exogenous disturbance.When exogenous disturbances are eliminated,the system responds with an optimal controller designed.By separating theoretically the dynamic of a semi-active suspension system,this solution allows the design of two separate controllers easily and has reduced the computational burden and the use of too many tools,thus allowing for more convenient hardware implementation.The simulation results also show the effectiveness of damping oscillations of the proposed solution in this article.

文摘Malaria is a significant global health challenge.This devastating disease continues to affect millions,especially in tropical regions.It is caused by Plasmodium parasites transmitted by female Anopheles mosquitoes.This study introduces a nonlinear mathematical model for examining the transmission dynamics of malaria,incorporating both human and mosquito populations.We aim to identify the key factors driving the endemic spread of malaria,determine feasible solutions,and provide insights that lead to the development of effective prevention and management strategies.We derive the basic reproductive number employing the next-generation matrix approach and identify the disease-free and endemic equilibrium points.Stability analyses indicate that the disease-free equilibrium is locally and globally stable when the reproductive number is below one,whereas an endemic equilibrium persists when this threshold is exceeded.Sensitivity analysis identifies the most influential mosquito-related parameters,particularly the bite rate and mosquito mortality,in controlling the spread of malaria.Furthermore,we extend our model to include a treatment compartment and three disease-preventive control variables such as antimalaria drug treatments,use of larvicides,and the use of insecticide-treated mosquito nets for optimal control analysis.The results show that optimal use of mosquito nets,use of larvicides for mosquito population control,and treatment can lower the basic reproduction number and control malaria transmission with minimal intervention costs.The analysis of disease control strategies and findings offers valuable information for policymakers in designing cost-effective strategies to combat malaria.

文摘This paper studies motor joint control of a 4-degree-of-freedom(DoF)robotic manipulator using learning-based Adaptive Dynamic Programming(ADP)approach.The manipulator’s dynamics are modelled as an open-loop 4-link serial kinematic chain with 4 Degrees of Freedom(DoF).Decentralised optimal controllers are designed for each link using ADP approach based on a set of cost matrices and data collected from exploration trajectories.The proposed control strategy employs an off-line,off-policy iterative approach to derive four optimal control policies,one for each joint,under exploration strategies.The objective of the controller is to control the position of each joint.Simulation and experimental results show that four independent optimal controllers are found,each under similar exploration strategies,and the proposed ADP approach successfully yields optimal linear control policies despite the presence of these complexities.The experimental results conducted on the Quanser Qarm robotic platform demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed ADP controllers in handling significant dynamic nonlinearities,such as actuation limitations,output saturation,and filter delays.

文摘A mixed adaptive dynamic programming(ADP)scheme based on zero-sum game theory is developed to address optimal control problems of autonomous underwater vehicle(AUV)systems subject to disturbances and safe constraints.By combining prior dynamic knowledge and actual sampled data,the proposed approach effectively mitigates the defect caused by the inaccurate dynamic model and significantly improves the training speed of the ADP algorithm.Initially,the dataset is enriched with sufficient reference data collected based on a nominal model without considering modelling bias.Also,the control object interacts with the real environment and continuously gathers adequate sampled data in the dataset.To comprehensively leverage the advantages of model-based and model-free methods during training,an adaptive tuning factor is introduced based on the dataset that possesses model-referenced information and conforms to the distribution of the real-world environment,which balances the influence of model-based control law and data-driven policy gradient on the direction of policy improvement.As a result,the proposed approach accelerates the learning speed compared to data-driven methods,concurrently also enhancing the tracking performance in comparison to model-based control methods.Moreover,the optimal control problem under disturbances is formulated as a zero-sum game,and the actor-critic-disturbance framework is introduced to approximate the optimal control input,cost function,and disturbance policy,respectively.Furthermore,the convergence property of the proposed algorithm based on the value iteration method is analysed.Finally,an example of AUV path following based on the improved line-of-sight guidance is presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

文摘To better complete various missions, it is necessary to plan an optimal trajectory or provide the optimal control law for the multirole missile according to the actual situation, including launch conditions and target location. Since trajectory optimization struggles to meet real-time requirements, the emergence of data-based generation methods has become a significant focus in contemporary research. However, due to the large differences in the characteristics of the optimal control laws caused by the diversity of tasks, it is difficult to achieve good prediction results by modeling all data with one single model.Therefore, the modeling idea of the mixture of experts(MoE) is adopted. Firstly, the K-means clustering algorithm is used to partition the sample data set, and the corresponding neural network classification model is established as the gate switch of MoE. Then, the expert models, i.e., the mappings from the generation conditions to the optimal control law represented by the results of principal component analysis(PCA), are represented by Kriging models. Finally, multiple rounds of accuracy evaluation, sample supplementation, and model updating are conducted to improve the generation accuracy. The Monte Carlo simulation shows that the accuracy of the proposed model reaches 96% and the generation efficiency meets the real-time requirement.

文摘This paper investigates a new SEIQR(susceptible–exposed–infected–quarantined–recovered) epidemic model with quarantine mechanism on heterogeneous complex networks. Firstly, the nonlinear SEIQR epidemic spreading dynamic differential coupling model is proposed. Then, by using mean-field theory and the next-generation matrix method, the equilibriums and basic reproduction number are derived. Theoretical results indicate that the basic reproduction number significantly relies on model parameters and topology of the underlying networks. In addition, the globally asymptotic stability of equilibrium and the permanence of the disease are proved in detail by the Routh–Hurwitz criterion, Lyapunov method and La Salle's invariance principle. Furthermore, we find that the quarantine mechanism, that is the quarantine rate(γ1, γ2), has a significant effect on epidemic spreading through sensitivity analysis of basic reproduction number and model parameters. Meanwhile, the optimal control model of quarantined rate and analysis method are proposed, which can optimize the government control strategies and reduce the number of infected individual. Finally, numerical simulations are given to verify the correctness of theoretical results and a practice application is proposed to predict and control the spreading of COVID-19.

文摘This paper proposes an optimal midcourse guidance method for dual pulse air-to-air missiles,which is based on the framework of the linear Gauss pseudospectral model predictive control method.Firstly,a multistage optimal control problem with unspecified terminal time is formulated.Secondly,the control and terminal time update formulas are derived analytically.In contrast to previous work,the derivation process fully considers the Hamiltonian function corresponding to the unspecified terminal time,which is coupled with control,state,and costate.On the assumption of small perturbation,a special algebraic equation is provided to represent the equivalent optimal condition for the terminal time.Also,using Gauss pseudospectral collocation,error propagation dynamical equations involving the first-order correction term of the terminal time are transformed into a set of algebraic equations.Furthermore,analytical modification formulas can be derived by associating those equations and optimal conditions to eliminate terminal error and approach nonlinear optimal control.Even with their mathematical complexity,these formulas produce more accurate control and terminal time corrections and remove reliance on task-related parameters.Finally,several numerical simulations,comparisons with typical methods,and Monte Carlo simulations have been done to verify its optimality,high convergence rate,great stability and robustness.
文摘Spillover of trypanosomiasis parasites from wildlife to domestic livestock and humans remains a major challenge world over.With the disease targeted for elimination by 2030,assessing the impact of control strategies in communities where there are human-cattle-wildlife interactions is therefore essential.A compartmental framework incorporating tsetse flies,humans,cattle,wildlife and various disease control strategies is developed and analyzed.The reproduction is derived and its sensitivity to different model parameters is investigated.Meanwhile,the optimal control theory is used to identify a combination of control strategies capable of minimizing the infected human and cattle population over time at minimal costs of implementation.The results indicates that tsetse fly mortality rate is strongly and negatively correlated to the reproduction number.It is also established that tsetse fly feeding rate in strongly and positively correlated to the reproduction number.Simulation results indicates that time dependent control strategies can significantly reduce the infections.Overall,the study shows that screening and treatment of humans may not lead to disease elimination.Combining this strategy with other strategies such as screening and treatment of cattle and vector control strategies will result in maximum reduction of tsetse fly population and disease elimination.

文摘Inverse reinforcement learning optimal control is under the framework of learner-expert.The learner system can imitate the expert system's demonstrated behaviors and does not require the predefined cost function,so it can handle optimal control problems effectively.This paper proposes an inverse reinforcement learning optimal control method for Takagi-Sugeno(T-S)fuzzy systems.Based on learner systems,an expert system is constructed,where the learner system only knows the expert system's optimal control policy.To reconstruct the unknown cost function,we firstly develop a model-based inverse reinforcement learning algorithm for the case that systems dynamics are known.The developed model-based learning algorithm is consists of two learning stages:an inner reinforcement learning loop and an outer inverse optimal control loop.The inner loop desires to obtain optimal control policy via learner's cost function and the outer loop aims to update learner's state-penalty matrices via only using expert's optimal control policy.Then,to eliminate the requirement that the system dynamics must be known,a data-driven integral learning algorithm is presented.It is proved that the presented two algorithms are convergent and the developed inverse reinforcement learning optimal control scheme can ensure the controlled fuzzy learner systems to be asymptotically stable.Finally,we apply the proposed fuzzy optimal control to the truck-trailer system,and the computer simulation results verify the effectiveness of the presented approach.
