TIME-OPTIMAL CONTROL OF DISCRETE SYSTEMS SUBJECT TO INPUT SATURATION.

Abstract

One of the basic problems in the design of information systems is that of time-optimal control. Determination is necessary of an optimal control law which will take a dynamic process from some initial state to a prescribed desired state in the shortest possible time subject to various constraints. The report presents a practical solution to the optimization problem subject to control-signal saturation, by extending the method of coordinate transformation. The design of the on-line digital controller is developed into a control algorithm which may be programmed on a general purpose digital computer or mechanized in a special-purpose computing device.
