Аннотация:
The boundary value approach to dynamic optimization is still an active area
of research in many domains of process engineering. The particular domain of
interest in the present work is a certain nonlinear optimization problem,
constrained by a 3D neutron diffusion partial differential equation (PDE)
and controlled, in time, by the boundary conditions. An analytical solution
to the associated linear boundary value problem (BVP), which is a principal
activity of this optimization, has been reached in 2019 by this author,
based on application of an additive separation of variables (ASOV)
principle, and was published in the International Journal of Dynamical
Systems and Differential Equations.
The sole objective of this paper is to examine and verify the consistency of
the ASOV method in solving the BVP of this optimization process. The
justification of this method is based on reversibility of a pertaining
generalized Euclidean transformation, and on asserting this reversibility in
the context of an exterior differential framework for the BVP.
