  • Abstract
    A globally convergent nonlinear approximate dynamic programming algorithm is described, and an implementation of the algorithm in the linear case is developed. The resultant linear approximate dynamic programming algorithm is illustrated via the design of an autolander for the NASA X-43 research aircraft, without a priori knowledge of the X-43´s flight dynamics
