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:

    I tell you, sir, the only safeguard of order and discipline in the modern world is a standardized worker with interchangeable parts. That would solve the entire problem of management.
    Jean Giraudoux (1882–1944)

    He that writes to himself writes to an eternal public. That statement only is fit to be made public, which you have come at in attempting to satisfy your own curiosity.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
