Sensitivity Analysis for the Optimal Design and Control of Advanced Guidance Systems

Abstract

The main goal of the research project is to use Continuous Sensitivity Equation Methods in order to design actuators and sensors for distributed parameter systems. Investigations for parameterized sensor/actuator placement indicate that computational challenges exist for certain types mathematical models. When the governing equations are partial differential equations and the sensitivity analysis is with respect to parameters that determine placement of sensors and/or actuators, there can be a loss of regularity between the model equations and that of the corresponding sensitivity equations. This issue is particularly important for accuracy and convergence of numerical sensitivity calculations that may be used within a control design framework.
