Abstract :
For finite-time linear regulator problems, it is shown that the optimal piecewise-constant feedback gains can be computed using a gradient minimisation technique. Employing this approach the following two schemes are considered: (a) simultaneous optimisation of switching times and (b) determination of optimal piecewise-linear feedback gains. Computational results are presented.
