Une approche géométrique du contrôle optimal de l'arc atmosphérique de la navette spatiale
2002
L'objectif de ce travail est de faire quelques remarques géométriques et des calculs préliminaires pour construire l'arc atmosphérique optimal d'une navette spatiale (problème de rentrée sur Terre ou programme d'exploration de Mars). Le système décrivant les trajectoires est de dimension 6, le contrôle est l'angle de gîte cinématique et le coût est l'intégrale du flux thermique. Par ailleurs il y a des contraintes sur l'état (flux thermique, accélération normale et pression dynamique). Notre étude est essentiellement géométrique et fondée sur une évaluation de l'ensemble des états accessibles en tenant compte des contraintes sur l'état. On esquisse une analyse des extrémales du Principe du …
Geodesic flow of the averaged controlled Kepler equation
2008
A normal form of the Riemannian metric arising when averaging the coplanar controlled Kepler equation is given. This metric is parameterized by two scalar invariants which encode its main properties. The restriction of the metric to $\SS^2$ is shown to be conformal to the flat metric on an oblate ellipsoid of revolution, and the associated conjugate locus is observed to be a deformation of the standard astroid. Though not complete because of a singularity in the space of ellipses, the metric has convexity properties that are expressed in terms of the aforementioned invariants, and related to surjectivity of the exponential mapping. Optimality properties of geodesics of the averaged controll…
Second order optimality conditions in the smooth case and applications in optimal control
2007
International audience; The aim of this article is to present algorithms to compute the first conjugate time along a smooth extremal curve, where the trajectory ceases to be optimal. It is based on recent theoretical developments of geometric optimal control, and the article contains a review of second order optimality conditions. The computations are related to a test of positivity of the intrinsic second order derivative or a test of singularity of the extremal flow. We derive an algorithm called COTCOT (Conditions of Order Two and COnjugate times), available on the web, and apply it to the minimal time problem of orbit transfer, and to the attitude control problem of a rigid spacecraft. …
On local optima in minimum time control of the restricted three-body problem
2016
International audience; The structure of local minima for time minimization in the controlled three-body problem is studied. Several homotopies are systematically used to unfold the structure of these local minimizers, and the resulting singularity of the path associated with the value function is analyzed numerically.
Conjugate and cut loci of a two-sphere of revolution with application to optimal control
2008
Abstract The objective of this article is to present a sharp result to determine when the cut locus for a class of metrics on a two-sphere of revolution is reduced to a single branch. This work is motivated by optimal control problems in space and quantum dynamics and gives global optimal results in orbital transfer and for Lindblad equations in quantum control.
Constrained differential inclusions with nonlocal initial conditions
2017
International audience; We show existence for the perturbed sweeping process with nonlocal initial conditions under very general hypotheses. Periodic, anti-periodic, mean value and multipoints conditions are included in this study. We give abstract results for differential inclusions with nonlocal initial conditions through bounding functions and tangential conditions. Some applications to differential complementarity systems and to vector hysteresis are given.
Optimal control with state constraints and the space shuttle re-entry problem
2003
In this article, we initialize the analysis under generic assumptions of the small \textit{time optimal synthesis} for single input systems with \textit{state constraints}. We use geometric methods to evaluate \textit{the small time reachable set} and necessary optimality conditions. Our work is motivated by the \textit{optimal control of the atmospheric arc for the re-entry of a space shuttle}, where the vehicle is subject to constraints on the thermal flux and on the normal acceleration. A \textit{multiple shooting technique} is finally applied to compute the optimal longitudinal arc.
On some Riemannian aspects of two and three-body controlled problems
2009
The flow of the Kepler problem (motion of two mutually attracting bodies) is known to be geodesic after the work of Moser [20], extended by Belbruno and Osipov [2, 21]: Trajectories are reparameterizations of minimum length curves for some Riemannian metric. This is not true anymore in the case of the three-body problem, and there are topological obstructions as observed by McCord et al. [19]. The controlled formulations of these two problems are considered so as to model the motion of a spacecraft within the influence of one or two planets. The averaged flow of the (energy minimum) controlled Kepler problem with two controls is shown to remain geodesic. The same holds true in the case of o…
Characterization of the Clarke regularity of subanalytic sets
2017
International audience; In this note, we will show that for a closed subanalytic subset $A \subset \mathbb{R}^n$, the Clarke tangential regularity of $A$ at $x_0 \in A$ is equivalent to the coincidence of the Clarke's tangent cone to $A$ at $x_0$ with the set \\$$\mathcal{L}(A, x_0):= \bigg\{\dot{c}_+(0) \in \mathbb{R}^n: \, c:[0,1]\longrightarrow A\;\;\mbox{\it is Lipschitz}, \, c(0)=x_0\bigg\}.$$Where $\dot{c}_+(0)$ denotes the right-strict derivative of $c$ at $0$. The results obtained are used to show that the Clarke regularity of the epigraph of a function may be characterized by a new formula of the Clarke subdifferential of that function.
Differential inclusions involving normal cones of nonregular sets in Hilbert spaces
2017
This thesis is dedicated to the study of differential inclusions involving normal cones of nonregular sets in Hilbert spaces. In particular, we are interested in the sweeping process and its variants. The sweeping process is a constrained differential inclusion involving normal cones which appears naturally in several applications such as elastoplasticity, electrical circuits, hysteresis, crowd motion, etc.This work is divided conceptually in three parts: Study of positively alpha-far sets, existence results for differential inclusions involving normal cones and characterizations of Lyapunov pairs for the sweeping process. In the first part (Chapter 2), we investigate the class of positivel…
