Differential game in the problem of controlling a nonlinear object with restrictions on control actions

Parametric Optimization of Nonline-ar Systems Represented by Models Using the Extended Linearization Method

The optimal control problem formulated for a class of nonlinear objects that can represented as objects with a linear structure and state-dependent parameters. The linear structure of the transformed nonlinear system and the quadratic quality functional allow us to switch from the need to search for solutions of the Hamilton-Jacobi equation to a Riccati-type equation with state-dependent parameters in the synthesis of optimal control. The main problem of implementing optimal control is associated with the problem of finding a solution to such an equation. The article proposes an algorithmic method of parametric optimization of the controller, based on the use of the necessary optimality conditions for the considered control system. The constructed algorithms can be used both for optimization of non-stationary objects themselves, if the corresponding parameters are selected for this purpose, and for optimization of the entire controlled system with the help of the corresponding parametric tuning of the controllers. The effectiveness of the developed algorithms demonstrated by the example of drug treatment of patients with HIV.

Differential Games of Pursuit with Several Pursuers and One Evader

A differential game of several players is considered as follows. One player (attacker) penetrates some space, and several other players (pursuers) appear simultaneously to intercept the attacker. Upon detecting the pursuers, the attacker tries to evade them. The dynamics of each player are described by a time-invariant linear system of a general type with scalar control. A quadratic functional is introduced, and the differential game is treated as an optimal control problem. Two subproblems are solved as follows. The first subproblem is to construct a strategy for pursuing the attacker by several players having complete equal information about the game. The second subproblem is to construct such a strategy under incomplete information about the attacker actively opposing the pursuers. The simulation results are presented. The zero-sum differential game solution can be used for studying the final stage of pursuit, in which several pursuers and one evader participate.

Tracking Problem under Bounded Disturbances. Algebraic Synthesis Method

We consider the problem of a zero-sum differential tracking game with a quadratic
performance functional in which the plant subjected to uncontrolled disturbances is described by a nonlinear ordinary differential equation. The synthesis of optimal controls is known to necessitate online solving a scalar Bellman–Isaacs partial differential equation that contains information about the trajectory of the process to be monitored. The lack of information about this process over the entire control interval makes the synthesized controls unimplementable. An algebraic method is proposed for solving the Bellman-Isaacs equation, which contains the current value of the monitored process. As an illustration of the results obtained, we give the simulation of the behavior of a nonlinear system with two players with an open control horizon.

‘Mathematics Is Practically Everywhere: in Physics, Programming, Economics, Sociology, Biology, and Medicine’

Applied Mathematics is one of the flagship educational programmes run by the HSE Tikhonov Moscow Institute of Electronics and Mathematics. Anna Presnova, a lecturer at HSE University since 2018, has recently become its Academic Supervisor. She talked about the changes awaiting the programme, her personal research interests, and what it means to be a mother of two children while being involved in research, teaching and administration at the same time.

HSE Staff Members Awarded Status of Tenured Professor

On June 22, several HSE lecturers and staff members were awarded the status of Tenured Professor at a meeting of HSE Academic Council. Sixteen HSE staff members became Distinguished Professors at the Higher School of Economics for the first time.
