The purpose of this review article is to present some recent results on the modeling and
control of large systems of agents. We focus on particular applications where the agents are …

A method is developed for solving bang-bang and singular optimal control problems using
adaptive Legendre–Gauss–Radau collocation. The method is divided into several parts …

The switch point algorithm is a new approach for solving optimal control problems whose
solutions are either singular or bang-bang or both singular and bang-bang, and which …

High-frequency control switching, chattering, limits the practical application of sliding mode
controllers. This paper proposes an enhanced reaching law, viz., Fractional Power Rate …

Due to advantages such as high speed, high accuracy, low maintenance and high reliability,
permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) servo systems have been employed in …

We consider the problem of maximization of metabolite production in bacterial cells
formulated as a dynamical optimal control problem (DOCP). According to Pontryagin's …

This paper addresses optimal control problems with loss control regions. In that context the
state space is partitioned into disjoint subsets, referred to as regions, which are classified …

Time-optimal control for high-order chain-of-integrator systems with full state constraints
remains an open and challenging problem within the discipline of optimal control. The …

Time-optimal control for high-order chain-of-integrator systems with full state constraints
remains an open and challenging problem within the discipline of optimal control. The …

We study an optimal control problem affine in two-dimensional bounded control, in which
there is a singular point of the second order. In the neighborhood of the singular point we …
