Abstract:

Sampled-data control systems are coming of age. Many methods have been formulated by which both continuous and sampled-data control systems may be optimized. Here one method of optimum control design is presented using the approach of dynamic programming. A program to generate the state transition matrices from the system dynamics was developed. A program for minimizing rather general cost functions was written and examples are presented utilizing the results.
