In this article, we study the time-domain decomposition of optimal control problems for systems of semilinear hyperbolic equations and provide an in-depth well-posedness analysis. This is a continuation of our work, Krug et al. (2021) in that we now consider <italic>mixed</italic> two-point boundary value problems. The more general boundary conditions significantly enlarge the scope of applications, e.g., to hyperbolic problems on metric graphs with cycles. We design an iterative method based on the optimality systems that can be interpreted as a decomposition method for the original optimal control problem into <italic>virtual control</italic> problems on smaller time domains.

Time-domain decomposition for optimal control problems governed by semilinear hyperbolic systems with mixed two-point boundary conditions

This note presents sufficient conditions for the property of strong metric subregularity (SMSr) of the system of first order optimality conditions for a mathematical programming problem in a Banach space (the Karush-Kuhn-Tucker conditions). The constraints of the problem consist of equations in a Banach space setting and a finite number of inequalities. The conditions, under which SMSr is proven, assume that the data are twice continuously Fréchet differentiable, the strict Mangasarian-Fromovitz constraint qualification is satisfied, and the second-order sufficient optimality condition holds. The obtained result extends the one known for finite-dimensional problems. Although the applicability of the result is limited to the Banach space setting (due to the twice Fréchet differentiability assumptions and the finite number of inequality constraints), the paper can be valuable due to the self-contained exposition, and provides a ground for extensions. One possible extension was recently implemented in Osmolovskii and Veliov (2021).

On the strong metric subregularity in mathematical programming

Computational meshes arising from shape optimization routines commonly suffer from decrease of mesh quality or even destruction of the mesh. In this work, we provide an approach to regularize general shape optimization problems to increase both shape and volume mesh quality. For this, we employ pre-shape calculus as established in Luft and Schulz (2021). Existence of regularized solutions is guaranteed. Further, consistency of modified pre-shape gradient systems is established. We present pre-shape gradient system modifications, which permit simultaneous shape optimization with mesh quality improvement. Optimal shapes to the original problem are left invariant under regularization. The computational burden of our approach is limited, since additional solution of possibly larger (non-)linear systems for regularized shape gradients is not necessary. We implement and compare pre-shape gradient regularization approaches for a 2D problem, which is prone to mesh degeneration. As our approach does not depend on the choice of metrics representing shape gradients, we employ and compare several different metrics.

Simultaneous shape and mesh quality optimization using pre-shape calculus

This paper studies the output controllability of discrete linear time invariant systems (<italic>LTI</italic>) with non-negative input constraints. Some geometrical arguments and positive invariance concepts are used to derive the necessary and/or sufficient conditions for the positive output controllability of discrete <italic>LTI</italic> systems. The paper also provides several academic examples, which support the theoretical results.

Positive output controllability of linear discrete–time invariant systems

<abstract xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

The convex linear combination of the controllability pairs of linear continuous-time linear systems is defined and its properties are discussed. The main result is obtained using pure algebraic methods. In the illustrative examples different cases of linear convex combinations are analyzed.

Convex linear combination of the controllability pairs for linear systems

In this paper the solution for hesitant fuzzy system as <italic>AX</italic> = <italic>B</italic> is introduced where <italic>A</italic> is an <italic>n</italic> × <italic>n</italic> known hesitant fuzzy matrix, <italic>B</italic> is an <italic>n</italic> × 1 known hesitant fuzzy vector and <italic>X</italic> is an <italic>n</italic> × 1 unknown hesitant fuzzy vector.
First, <italic>L</italic>∞-norm and <italic>L</italic>1-norm of a hesitant fuzzy vector are introduced. Then, the concepts of hesitant fuzzy zero, ’almost equal’ and ’less than’ and ’equal’ are defined for two hesitant fuzzy numbers. Finally, using a minimization problem; the hesitant fuzzy system is solved. At the end, some numerical examples are presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.
