Haar Matrix Equations for Solving Time-Variant Linear-Quadratic Optimal Control Problems

‎In this paper‎, ‎Haar wavelets are performed for solving continuous time-variant linear-quadratic optimal control problems‎. ‎Firstly‎, ‎using necessary conditions for optimality‎, ‎the problem is changed into a two-boundary value problem (TBVP)‎. ‎Next‎, ‎Haar wavelets are applied for converting the TBVP‎, ‎as a system of differential equations‎, ‎in to a system of matrix algebraic equations‎...

Optimal Linear Quadratic Control

Linear Quadratic Optimal Control

In previous lectures, we discussed the design of state feedback controllers using using eigenvalue (pole) placement algorithms. For single input systems, given a set of desired eigenvalues, the feedback gain to achieve this is unique (as long as the system is controllable). For multi-input systems, the feedback gain is not unique, so there is additional design freedom. How does one utilize this...

Optimal Finite-time Control of Positive Linear Discrete-time Systems

This paper considers solving optimization problem for linear discrete time systems such that closed-loop discrete-time system is positive (i.e., all of its state variables have non-negative values) and also finite-time stable. For this purpose, by considering a quadratic cost function, an optimal controller is designed such that in addition to minimizing the cost function, the positivity proper...

Piecewise linear quadratic optimal control

The use of piecewise quadratic cost functions is extended from stability analysis of piecewise linear systems to performance analysis and optimal control. Lower bounds on the optimal control cost are obtained by semi-definite programming based on the Bellman inequality. This also gives an approximation to the optimal control law. An upper bound to the optimal cost is obtained by another convex ...
