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:

    The perfect detective story cannot be written. The type of mind which can evolve the perfect problem is not the type of mind that can produce the artistic job of writing.
    Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)

    Most personal correspondence of today consists of letters the first half of which are given over to an indexed statement of why the writer hasn’t written before, followed by one paragraph of small talk, with the remainder devoted to reasons why it is imperative that the letter be brought to a close.
    Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
