Abstract :
A linear feedback law is obtained in closed form for the regulation of the angular momentum of an arbitrary rotating rigid body. without linearizing hypotheses of symmetry, yet optimal for a suitable quadratic energy cost. The evolution of the amplitude of the controlled angular momentum is thereby obtained in closed form, whence asymptotic closed loop stability and exact open loop terminal rate nulling are derived. Earlier steady state results are recovered as particular cases.
