Refer to page 32 for solving a linear-quadratic regulator (LQR) problem. Instructions: • Formulate the cost functional and state-space representation. • Derive the Riccati equation and solve it step-by-step. Clearly explain how the optimal control law is obtained.

Model File Available: Major League Baseball's World Series is a maximum of seven games, with the winner being the first team to win four games. Assume that the Atlanta Braves and the Minnesota Twins are playing in the World Series and that the first two games are to be played in Atlanta, the next three games at the Twins' ballpark, and the last two games, if necessary, back in Atlanta. Taking into account the projected starting pitchers for each game and the home field advantage, suppose the probabilities of Atlanta winning each game are as follows. Game Probability of Win 1 2 3 0.59 0.54 0.49 4 0.46 5 0.49 6 0.54 7 0.49 Construct a simulation model in which whether Atlanta wins or loses each game is a random variable. Use the model to answer the following questions. (Use at least 1,000 trials.) (a) What is the average number of games played regardless of winner? (Round your answer to one decimal place.) games (b) What is the probability that the Atlanta Braves win the World Series?…

Refer to page 40 for solving a time-optimal control problem. Instructions: • Formulate the problem by minimizing the time to reach a target state. • Apply Pontryagin's Maximum Principle to derive the optimal control and switching conditions. • Solve explicitly for the control and state trajectories. Include clear diagrams to visualize the solution. Link: [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1wKSrun-GlxirS31Z9qoHazb9tC440 AZF/view?usp=sharing]

The long run. A chair manufacturer hires its assembly-line labour for $18 an hour and calculates that the rental cost of its machinery is $6 per hour. Suppose that a chair can be produced using 4 hours of labour or machinery in any combination. The firm is currently using 1 hour of labour for every 3 hours of machine time. (Assume that labour is on the horizontal axis and capital is on the vertical axis). 3. Graphically illustrate your answer by drawing an isoquant, an isocost line for the current combination of labour and capital and an isocost line for the optimal combination of labour and capital. An isocost corresponding to the optimal combination of labour and capital  is       [a vertical line, a horizontal line, an upward sloping straight line, an upward sloping curve which is not a straight line, a downward sloping straight line, a downward sloping curve which is not a straight line, L-shaped]  has slope       [ ]  at the optimal combination of inputs An isoquant…

Traffic Control  The accompanying figure shows the flow of downtown traffic during the rush hours on a typical weekday. Each avenue can handle up to 1500 vehicles/hour without causing congestion, whereas the maximum capacity of each street is 1000 vehicles/hour. The flow of traffic is controlled by traffic lights at each of the six intersections. (A) Suggest two possible traffic-flow patterns that ensure no traffic congestion. (B) Suppose the traffic flow along 9th Street between 5th and 6th Avenues, x6, is restricted due to sewer construction. What is the minimum permissible traffic flow along this road that will not result in traffic congestion?

2) A firm is a monopoly for the good it produces. Its average variable cost function is AVC = q + 4 and it has fixed costs of 1. The demand equation for its good is given by q = 20-p. Find expressions, in terms of q, for the total revenue and profit functions. Determine the production level q that gives the maximum profit. Also, find this maximum profit.

Assume that the production of 1 unit of magnesium requires 0.8 units of magnesium and 0.2 units of aluminum, and that the production of 1 unit of aluminum requires 0.3 units of magnesium and 0.2 units of aluminum.
