Control System Stability Analysis and Optimization Techniques.
Abstract
The research concerned the control of dynamic systems and was in two main areas: (1) stability conditions for nonlinear feedback systems, (2) optimization of control systems with emphasis on computational questions. The principal results of the research are the following: (1) a set of conditions for the stability of a multi-loop feedback system involving two time-invariant dynamic systems and two memoryless nonlinearities, (2) a mathematical theory for the numerical solution of vector two-point-boundary-value problems of the type obtained from necessary conditions for optimal controls, (3) the development of effective, user-oriented computer programs based on this theory and the results of numerical experiments, (4) a comprehensive the theory of optimal periodic control systems.
