ICIAM 2023 (August 21-25, Tokyo): Optimal control, methods and applications

Optimal control: methods and applications Session Time & Room :  00731 (1/2) : 5C (Aug.25, 13:20-15:00) @F401 00731 (2/2) : 5D (Aug.25, 15:30-17:10) @F401 Type : Proposal of Minisymposium Abstract : This two part mini-symposium addresses theoretical aspects of optimisation of systems governed by ODEs and applications. Optimal control and the associated analysis indeed provides a framework general enough to cover the Riemannian …

Séminaire McTAO : Aaron Rosengren (University of California, San Diego) – 28 juin 2023

Local and Global Dynamical Portraits of Cislunar xGEO Space Aaron Rosengren (University of California, San Diego) Mercredi 28 juin, 11h00, salle Coriolis (Galois). Abstract. The nonlinear astrodynamics in the cislunar space beyond the geosynchronous belt (xGEO), encompassing secular, resonant, chaotic, close-encounter, and manifold dynamics, is dramatically different than the weakly perturbed Keplerian approach used for …

Séminaire McTAO : Daniel J. Scheeres (University of Colorado Boulder) – 24 février 2023

The Computation and Application of Quasi-Periodic Orbits in Space Trajectory Design Daniel J. Scheeres (University of Colorado Boulder) Vendredi 24 février, 14h, salle Coriolis (Galois). Abstract. The application of dynamical systems methods to the design of spacecraft trajectories has resulted in a robust and rich approach to developing transfers in multi-body problems. Perhaps the most elegant …

Séminaire McTAO : Ivan Beschastnyi (Universidade de Aveiro) – 16 janvier 2023

Motion planning via optimal control Ivan Beschastnyi (Universidade de Aveiro) Lundi 16 janvier, 14h, salle Coriolis (Galois). Abstract. Given a control system, a motion mapping algorithm is a map that to two states assigns a unique control, which steers the system from one state to another. One way to construct such algorithms is through optimal …

Séminaire McTAO : Eric Busvelle (LIS, Université de Toulon) – 14 décembre 2022

Observability of systems when measurements are not time-stamped Eric Busvelle (LIS, Université de Toulon) Mercredi 14 décembre, 11h, salle Coriolis (Galois). Abstract. Usually, observers’ theory always assumes that the outputs correspond to correctly timestamped states (although variable delays are sometimes taken into account). In practice, this is not always the case. We will give some …
