MULTI-LEVEL APPROACH TO DYNAMIC OPTIMIZATION,

Abstract

In this report multi-level systems theory was applied to linear dynamic optimization problems. The two main reasons for using multi-level approach to optimization problems are: (a) this method eases the difficulty of computation of large scale optimization problems; (b) this method may make control systems insensitive to disturbances. In this report reason (a) above was considered in detail. The technique used is as follows. A large scale control system is divided into smaller subsystems by the 'decomposition technique' neglecting the interactions among the sybsystems. The 'higher level goalseeking units' compensate for the neglected interactions through successive approximation. The convergence condition of the successive approximation was treated. (Author)
