Method for Parametric Optimization in Problems of the Multichannel Control of Systems with Distributed Parameters.

We propose a constructive technology for solving parametrizable problems of multichannel optimal control in systems with distributed parameters under conditions of a given accuracy of uniform approximating the resultant spatial distribution of the controlled variable to the desired state. The developed technique uses the parametrization procedure of the sought control actions and the subsequent reduction to the special form of the task of semi-infinite optimization, which is solved by the scheme of the alternance method proposed earlier; this scheme is generalized to the investigated situation. We present an example (which is of interest by itself) of time-optimization of the process of nonstationary heat conductivity with two boundary control actions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
