Koopman operator-based model reduction for switched-system control of PDEs
We present a new framework for optimal and feedback control of PDEs using
Koopman operator-based reduced order models (K-ROMs). The Koopman operator is a
linear but infinite-dimensional operator which describes the dynamics of
observables. A numerical approximation of the Koopman operator therefore yields
a linear system for the observation of an autonomous dynamical system. In our
approach, by introducing a finite number of constant controls, the dynamic
control system is transformed into a set of autonomous systems and the
corresponding optimal control problem into a switching time optimization
problem. This allows us to replace each of these systems by a K-ROM which can
be solved orders of magnitude faster. By this approach, a nonlinear
infinite-dimensional control problem is transformed into a low-dimensional
linear problem. In situations where the Koopman operator can be computed
exactly using Extended Dynamic Mode Decomposition (EDMD), the proposed approach
yields optimal control inputs. Furthermore, a recent convergence result for
EDMD suggests that the approach can be applied to more complex dynamics as
well. To illustrate the results, we consider the 1D Burgers equation and the 2D
Navier--Stokes equations. The numerical experiments show remarkable performance
concerning both solution times and accuracy.Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1801.0641

Derivation of near-optimal pump schedules for water distribution by simulated annealing
The scheduling of pumps for clean water distribution is a partially discrete non-linear problem with many variables. The scheduling method described in this paper typically produces costs within 1% of a linear program-based solution, and can incorporate realistic non-linear costs that may be hard to incorporate in linear programming formulations. These costs include pump switching and maximum demand charges. A simplified model is derived from a standard hydraulic simulator. An initial schedule is produced by a descent method. Two-stage simulated annealing then produces solutions in a few minutes. Iterative recalibration ensures that the solution agrees closely with the results from a full hydraulic simulation
