Solving Control Problems with Discrete Controls.

Abstract

This paper presents a solution to a class of control problems with discrete controls. The class of problems examined are those governed by a set of n first order linear ordinary differential equations, subject to a set of m linear constraints (m < n), wherein a given quadratic performance index is to be minimized. The discrete controls appear in the solution as initial values of the differential equations. The procedure is implemented in a computer program, and applied to two example problems. (Author)
