In this paper we consider the quadratic optimal control problem of a discrete-time Markovian jump linear system, subject to constrains on the state and control variables. It is desired to find a state feedback controller, which may also depend on the jump variable, that minimizes a quadratic cost and satisfies some upper bounds on the norms of some random variables, related to the state and con...

The optimal control problem for linear discrete-time, time-varying systems with state dependent noise and quadratic control is considered. The asymptotic behavior of the solution of the related discrete-time Riccati equation is investigated. The existence of an optimal control, under stabilizability and uniform observability (respectively detectability) conditions, for the given quadratic cost ...

This paper proposes a discrete-time repetitive optimal control of electrically driven robotic manipulators using an uncertainty estimator. The proposed control method can be used for performing repetitive motion, which covers many industrial applications of robotic manipulators. This kind of control law is in the class of torque-based control in which the joint torques are generated by permanen...

A linear-like discrete-time fuzzy controller was designed to control and stabilize a single-pool irrigation canal. Saint Venant equations for open-channel flow were linearized using the Taylor series and a finite-difference approximation of the original nonlinear partial differential equations. Using the linear optimal control theory, a traditional linear quadratic regulator (LQR) was first dev...

The purpose of this paper is to provide a unified presentation of the formulas arising in the discrete-time finite-horizon linear Linear Quadratic Regulator problem, the Linear Quadratic Gaussian problem, the Linear Exponential of Quadratic Gaussian problem, and the minimax Linear Quadratic Gaussian problem. For these classes of optimal control problems, the paper presents formulas for optimal ...
