Abstract
This paper presents a new technique for generating an approximation to the minimum performance functional 
for optimization of dynamic systems. Convergence of the technique is shown and the results from two example systems are given. The resultant approximation is shown to be useful over a significant region in state space for 1) generating a near optimal control law, 2) determining regions of stability, and 3) defining useful bounds associated with the system performance.
