PARAMETRIC EXPANSIONS OF OPTIMUM CONTROLS,

Abstract

An approximation property of optimum controls is established, expressibly by Taylor series with respect to a parameter. It is shown that if an r-th order approximation is used instead of the exact optimum control, the optimum performance is approximated to order (2r+1). Several applications of this result are made to the design of near-optimum large systems. (Author)
