Abstract

AbstractA method for finding the optimal control of linear singular systems with a quadratic cost functional using piecewise linear polynomial functions is discussed. The state variable, state rate, and the control vector are expanded in piecewise linear polynomial functions with unknown coefficients. The relation between the coefficients of the state rate with state variable is provided and the necessary condition of optimality is derived as a linear system of algebraic equations in terms of the unknown coefficients of the state and control vectors. A numerical example is included to demonstrate the validity and the applicability of the technique. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
