Optimal Control Problem Investigation for Linear Time-Invariant Systems of Fractional Order with Lumped Parameters Described by Equations with Riemann-Liouville Derivative

Abstract EN

This paper studies two optimal control problems for linear time-invariant systems of fractional order with lumped parameters whose dynamics is described by equations which contain Riemann-Liouville derivative.

The first problem is to find control with minimal norm and the second one is to find control with minimal control time at given restriction for control norm.

The problem setting with nonlocal initial conditions is considered which differs from other known settings for integer-order systems and fractional-order systems described in terms of equations with Caputo derivative.

Admissible controls are allowed to belong to the class of functions which are p -integrable on half segment.

The basic investigation approach is the moment method.

The correctness and solvability of moment problem are validated for considered problem setting for the system of arbitrary dimension.

It is shown that corresponding conditions are analogous to those derived for systems which are described in terms of equations with Caputo derivative.

For several particular cases of one- and two-dimensional systems the posed problems are solved explicitly.

The dependencies of basic values from derivative index and control time are analyzed.

The comparison is performed of obtained results with known results for analogous integer-order systems and fractional-order systems which are described by equations with Caputo derivative.
