We investigate min-max optimal control problems for a class of bilinear positive systems with a linear cost, where two players have opposing objectives of minimizing and maximizing the same cost functional. We propose an initialization-independent solution with two remarkable properties: 1) the same control is optimal for a set of initial conditions, and 2) the solution can be computed efficiently even for large-scale systems, as the Hamilton-Jacobi-Isaacs equations admit an exact solution. The optimal control is thus obtained from a single backward integration of the adjoint dynamics.

Abstract

We investigate min-max optimal control problems for a class of bilinear positive systems with a linear cost, where two players have opposing objectives of minimizing and maximizing the same cost functional. We propose an initialization-independent solution with two remarkable properties: 1) the same control is optimal for a set of initial conditions, and 2) the solution can be computed efficiently even for large-scale systems, as the Hamilton-Jacobi-Isaacs equations admit an exact solution. The optimal control is thus obtained from a single backward integration of the adjoint dynamics.
