Optimal control problems for linear fractional-order systems defined by equations with Hadamard derivative

Two optimal control problems are studied for linear stationary systems of fractional order with lumped variables whose dynamics is described by equations with Hadamard derivative, a minimum-norm control problem and a time-optimal problem with a constraint on the norm of the control. The setting of the problem with nonlocal initial conditions is considered. Admissible controls are sought in the class of functions p-integrable on an interval for some p. The main approach to the study is based on the moment method. The well-posedness and solvability of the moment problem are substantiated. For several special cases, the optimal control problems under consideration are solved analytically. An analogy between the obtained results and known results for systems of integer and fractional order described by equations with Caputo and Riemann-Liouville derivatives is specified.
