Optimal Control
Instructor: F. Allgöwer
Course Contents

  • Discussion of the key characteristics of nonlinear static and dynamic optimization problems
  • Analytical and numerical solution methods for static and dynamic optimization problems
  • Derivation of optimal control strategies for nonlinear systems
  • Dynamic Programming, principle of optimality, Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman-equation
  • Variational calculus
  • Pontryagin Maximum Principle
  • Numerical algorithms for the solution of optimal control problems
  • Infinite and finite horizon optimal control
  • LQ optimal control
  • Application examples from various fields such as mechanical engineering, robotics and aeronautics
  • Introduction to nonlinear model predictive control
  • Introduction to game theory
The exercises partly consist of project work in which the students apply their knowledge to solve particular optimal control problems for application case studies.
