Abstract:

This report deals with problems in the analysis and design of nonlinear control systems. In particular, the topics of worst case error analysis, stability of linear and nonlinear time-varying systems, optimum control with bounded state variables and computational solutions of optimization problems are treated. The report is a continuation of the effort detailed in MDC-TR-65-3 consequently, the reader is encouraged to refer to this for appropriate background theory. Author
