On the new Hadamard fractional optimal control problems

Abstract

The main goal of this manuscript is to investigate a fractional optimal control problem subject to a dynamical system involving Hadamard fractional derivatives. Necessary conditions for the optimality of the considered problem are derived in terms of the corresponding Euler–Lagrange equations. An iterative method is also proposed to numerically solve the obtained equations from the necessary optimality conditions. Two illustrative examples are considered and simulated in order to show the applicability and efficiency of the proposed method. Numerical simulations show that the used method presents some satisfying results regarding the absolute error values.
