Optimization of Systems with Sensitivity Constraints.
Abstract
A cohesive and detailed treatment of the theory and engineering implications of trajectory sensitivity is presented. Fundamental results that provide insight into the theoretical aspects of trajectory sensitivity analysis, in both the frequency and time domains, are reviewed. Several related methods for incorporating sensitivity considerations in the design of systems are presented and used to solve a meaningful fifth-order numerical example: a flexible space vehicle in booster powered flight. Comparisons are made between an optimal design and designs which include a sensitivity term in the performance measure and conclusions are drawn about the efficacy of these techniques in control system design.
