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 problem of culture is seldom grasped correctly. The goal of a culture is not the greatest possible happiness of a people, nor is it the unhindered development of all their talents; instead, culture shows itself in the correct proportion of these developments. Its aim points beyond earthly happiness: the production of great works is the aim of culture.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

“The new statement is always hated by the old, and, to those dwelling in the old, comes like an abyss of skepticism.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
