Design of Optimal Systems with Low Sensitivity to Small Time Delays.

Abstract

The work in this thesis is an addition to the study of trajectory sensitivity of optimal control systems. The parameter with respect to which sensitivity is studied is a small undesirable time delay that might occur in a system designed nominally with zero delays. A design strategy is proposed to guarantee low sensitivity of optimal control systems. A numerical algorithm is presented to solve the resulting necessary conditions of optimality. It is applied to a practical example. Encouraging results are obtained. (Author)
