这篇论文考虑最佳的预防维护的一个问题和奉献给从已知的存款提取资源的设备的代替时间表。典型例子是油练习,矿铲,等等。至多,在新的存在机械的一代替被允许。这个问题作为一个最佳的控制问题题目被提出到在任何给定的时间的留下的存款是非否定的州的限制。我们证明如果要求,最佳的预防维护,生产率,和存在机械和新机械的代替和抢救时间能被顺序解决一系列 free-end-point 获得最佳的控制问题。而且,一个算法基于这结果被开发并且过去常解决二个解说性的例子。
This paper considers a problem of optimal preventive maintenance and replacement schedule of equipment devoted to extracting resources from known deposits. Typical examples are oil drills, mine shovels, etc. At most one replacement of the existing machinery by a new one is allowed. The problem is formulated as an optimal control problem subject to the state constraint that the remaining deposit at any given time is nonnegative. We show that the optimal preventive maintenance, production rates, and the replacement and salvage times of the existing machinery and the new one, if required, can be obtained by solving sequentially a series of free-end-point optimal control problems. Moreover, an algorithm based on this result is developed and used to solve two illustrative examples.
