Research on Optimization-Based Computer-Aided Design of Control Systems.

Abstract

The research covered by this report was aimed at advancing the state of the art of optimization-based design of control systems. To this end, research was carried out in three areas: (i) the development of a theory of nondifferentiable optimization algorithms for the solution problems with max type inequality constraints, (ii) the exploration of efficient design parametrization and initialization techniques in optimization-based control system design, and finally, (iii) the development of interactive software for optimization-based control system design. As a result of this research, two students will receive their Ph.D. degrees in November, 1986 two students are are halfway through their doctoral research projects, and our interactive optimization-based design system DELIGHT.MIMO was completed. It is currently being installed in alpha sites for testing and evaluation. The Michelson Laboratory in China Lake is one such test site.
