Optimal Damping Concept Implementation for Marine Vessels’ Tracking Control

This work presents the results of studies related to design stabilizing feedback connections for marine vessels moving along initially given trajectories. As is known, in mathematical formalization, this question leads a problem tracking control synthesis nonlinear and non-autonomous plants. To provide desirable stability performance features closed-loop systems be synthesized, it appropriate use an optimization approach. Unlike known methods, which are usually used within framework approach, proposed implement optimal damping concept first developed by V.I. Zubov early 60s last century. Modern interpretation allows constructing numerically effective procedures law taking into account its applicability real-time regime. Central attention focused on questions connected with practical adaptation methods systems. The operability effectiveness approach illustrated example design.
