✦ Synopsis
A general optimal conml approach employing the principles of calculus of variations has been developed to determine the best operating strategies for keeping the outlet pressure of gas transmission pipelines around a predetermined value while achieving reasonable energy consumption. The method exploits analytical tools of optimal control theory. A set of partial differential equations characterizing the dynamics of gas flow through a pipeline is directly used. The necessary conditions to minimize the specific performance index come from the infinitedimensional model. The optimization scheme has been tested on a pipeline subject to stepwise change in demand.

State analysis and optimization of time-varying systems via Haar wavelets are proposed in this paper. Based upon some useful properties of Haar functions, a special product matrix and a related coefficient matrix are applied to solve the time-varying systems first. Then the backward integration is i
