Abstract:

The optimal control problem of adjusting the inflow,  of piecewise constant type, to a supply chain in order  to minimize the queue size and the quadratic difference  between the outflow and the expected one is considered.  The controls are represented by the duration of injections  of different amounts of goods. The supply chain  is modelled by a PDE-ODE: the conservation law describes  the density of processed parts and the ODE the  queue buffer occupancy. The numerical technique is  based on the extensive use of generalized tangent vectors  to a piecewise constant control, which represent  time shifts of discontinuity points.
