Approximation of Delay Systems with Applications to Control and Identification.

Abstract

We discuss approximation ideas for functional differential equations and how these ideas can be employed in optimal control and parameter estimation problems. Two specific schemes are described, one based on integral averages of the function being approximated, the other based on best L2 spline approximations. An example illustrating numerical behavior of these schemes applied to an optimal control problem is presented. (Author)
