Hamiltonian (control Theory) - Notation and Problem Statement

Notation and Problem Statement

A control is to be chosen so as to minimize the objective function


J(u)=\Psi(x(T))+\int^T_0 L(x,u,t) dt

where is the system state, which evolves according to the state equations


\dot{x}=f(x,u,t) \qquad x(0)=x_0 \quad t \in

and the control must satisfy the constraints


a \le u(t) \le b \quad t \in

Famous quotes containing the words problem and/or statement:

    If we parents accept that problems are an essential part of life’s challenges, rather than reacting to every problem as if something has gone wrong with universe that’s supposed to be perfect, we can demonstrate serenity and confidence in problem solving for our kids....By telling them that we know they have a problem and we know they can solve it, we can pass on a realistic attitude as well as empower our children with self-confidence and a sense of their own worth.
    Barbara Coloroso (20th century)

    Eroticism has its own moral justification because it says that pleasure is enough for me; it is a statement of the individual’s sovereignty.
    Mario Vargas Llosa (b. 1936)
