"Nonlinear optimal control via occupation measures"
Carlo Savorgnan, LAAS, Toulouse

Abstract:
In this talk, we will consider nonlinear optimal control problems with state and input constraints. First, we will show how these problems can be reformulated in terms of occupation measures, in order to obtain an infinite dimensional linear programming (LP) problem. Second, in the special case when all problem data are polynomial, we will provide a hierarchy of linear matrix inequality relaxations of the LP problem. Finally, the solution to these relaxations will be used in order to compute an almost optimal control law.

Newsflash

Two OPTEC professors have been awarded three "Gouden Krijtjes", the yearly teaching awards given by the organization of engineering students (vtk). Prof. Lombaert was awarded the prize for the best course in civil engineering, and Prof. Diehl the prizes for the best professor and the best course in mathematical engineering (where he teaches numerical optimization). They received these awards at the yearly "proffentap" where experienced students taught them how to draft beer professionally.
