A maximum principle for optimal processes with discontinuous trajectories

TL;DR: In this paper, a maximum principle for dynamic optimization problems was proved, in which the control driving the system may be impulsive and give rise to discontinuous trajectories, and the approach, which involves approximating the problem by a conventional one and using Ekeland's theorem, is new.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evapotranspiration from a Mediterranean evergreen oak savannah: The role of trees and pasture

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured the transpiration of holm oak (Quercus ilex ssp. rotundifolia) trees in Mediterranean evergreen oak woodlands of southern Portugal.
Journal ArticleDOI

Necessary conditions of optimality for vector-valued impulsive control problems

TL;DR: In this article, a robust solution based on a new reparametrization procedure is adopted in order to derive necessary conditions of optimality, which are obtained by taking a limit of those for an appropriate sequence of auxiliary optimal control problems approximating the original one.
Journal ArticleDOI

Intercomparison of five lumped and distributed models for catchment runoff and extreme flow simulation

TL;DR: In this paper, five hydrological models with different spatial resolutions and process descriptions were applied to a medium sized catchment in Belgium in order to assess the accuracy and differences of simulated hydrologogical variables, including peak and low flow extremes and quick and slow runoff subflows.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Maximum Principle for Optimal Control Problems with State Constraints by R.V. Gamkrelidze: Revisited

TL;DR: A maximum principle in the form given by R.V. Gamkrelidze is obtained, although without a priori regularity assumptions to be satisfied by the optimal trajectory, and various regularity concepts are proposed that guarantee, in one sense or another, the nondegeneracy of the maximum principle.
