Title: Energy-Optimal Control for infinite-dimensional port-Hamiltonian Systems

Abstract: We first present a theory for the optimal control of infinite-dimensional systems described by system nodes. In this context, we focus on minimizing the L^2-norm of the output, combined with an additional weighting of the final state. The input is assumed to lie within a closed and convex set. Next, we address energy-optimal control for infinite-dimensional port-Hamiltonian systems. We show that minimizing the supplied energy can be reformulated as an equivalent output minimization problem. The theory will be illustrated using a boundary control wave equation on a two-dimensional spatial domain.

Title: 

On the port-Hamiltonian structure of interacting particle systems

Abstract:

We discuss novel applications of interacting particle systems in the context of socio-economic applications and reveal their port-Hamiltonian structure, which can be used to study their long-time behaviour. Moreover, we discuss some results of optimal control of interacting particle systems. The theory will be underpinned by numerical simulation results.
