Hamiltonian (control Theory) - Definition of The Hamiltonian

Definition of The Hamiltonian

H(x,\lambda,u,t)=\lambda^T(t)f(x,u,t)+L(x,u,t) \,

where is a vector of costate variables of the same dimension as the state variables .

For information on the properties of the Hamiltonian, see Pontryagin's minimum principle.

Famous quotes containing the words definition of the, definition of and/or definition:

    “The very definition of the real becomes: that of which it is possible to give an equivalent reproduction.... The real is not only what can be reproduced, but that which is always already reproduced. The hyperreal.”
    —Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)

    “Scientific method is the way to truth, but it affords, even in
    principle, no unique definition of truth. Any so-called pragmatic
    definition of truth is doomed to failure equally.”
    —Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)

    “One definition of man is “an intelligence served by organs.””
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
