This book focuses on how to implement optimal control problems via the variational method. It studies how to implement the extrema of functional by applying the variational method and covers the extrema of functional with different boundary conditions, involving multiple functions and with certain constraints etc. It gives the necessary and sufficient condition for the (continuous-time) optimal control solution via the variational method, solves the optimal control problems with different boundary conditions, analyzes the linear quadratic regulator & tracking problems respectively in detail, and provides the solution of optimal control problems with state constraints by applying the Pontryagin's minimum principle which is developed based upon the calculus of variations. And the developed results are applied to implement several classes of popular optimal control problems and say minimum-time, minimum-fuel and minimum-energy problems and so on. As another key branch of optimal control methods, it also presents how to solve the optimal control problems via dynamic programming and discusses the relationship between the variational method and dynamic programming for comparison. Concerning the system involving individual agents, it is also worth to study how to implement the decentralized solution for the underlying optimal control problems in the framework of differential games. The equilibrium is implemented by applying both Pontryagin's minimum principle and dynamic programming. The book also analyzes the discrete-time version for all the above materials as well since the discrete-time optimal control problems are very popular in many fields.

This book focuses on the fault diagnosis observer design for the switched system. Model-based fault diagnosis and fault tolerant control are one of the most popular research directions in recent decades. It contains eight chapters. Every chapter is independent in the method of observer design, but all chapters are around the same topic. Besides, in each chapter, the model description and theoretical results are firstly provided, then some practical application examples are illustrated to prove the obtained results. The advanced theoretical methodologies will benefit researchers or engineers in the area of safety engineering and the arrangement of the structure will help the readers to understand the content easily.

This monograph provides a comprehensive analysis of the control of singularly perturbed time delay systems. Expanding on the author's previous work on controllability of linear systems with delays in the state and control variables, this volume's comprehensive coverage makes it a valuable addition to the field. Each chapter is self-contained, allowing readers to study them independently or in succession. After a brief introduction, the book systematically examines properties of different classes of singularly perturbed time delay systems, including linear time-dependent systems with multiple point-wise and distributed state delays. The author then considers more general singularly perturbed systems with state and control delays. Euclidean space controllability for all of these systems is also discussed, using numerous examples from real-life models throughout the text to illustrate the results presented. More technically complicated proofs are presented in separate subsections. The final chapter includes a section dedicated to non-linear time delay systems. This book is ideal for researchers, engineers, and graduate students in systems science and control theory. Other applied mathematicians and researchers working in biology and medicine will also find this volume to be a valuable resource.
