Optimal control problems are mathematical formulations used to determine control strategies that yield a desired outcome while minimising a prescribed cost function. In many applications, these ...

Optimal control theory provides a mathematical framework for determining control strategies that optimise the performance of dynamic systems. In many practical settings, systems display abrupt changes ...

The Takagi--Sugeno (T--S) fuzzy descriptor system offers a promising avenue for controlling non-linear systems but lacks optimal control strategies. Moreover, while robust control methods have been ...

Existing ship control systems using Model Predictive Control for Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships (MASS) do not consider the various forces acting on ships in real sea conditions. Addressing this gap ...

The proposed disturbance rejection optimal guidance method has two key components: real-time nominal trajectory generation and robust neighboring optimal feedback control. Correspondingly, this ...
