Optimal timing control of switched systems with applications to optimal bridge repairs

Following results over recent years, this thesis enhances the problem of minimizing a cost functional defined on a state trajectory of an autonomous switched dynamical system. The cost functional traditionally used, is augmented with explicit costs on the switching times and the final time is set by...
