✦ Synopsis

A class of optimum control systems is delined and investigated with special emphasis on time-domain concepts. This class of optimum systems is particularly suitable for feedback-control applications \vherc adaptability to changing conditions is desired.

Computational and physical simplifications are studied when mathematical restrictions are imposed on the error criterion and the dynamic process.

For a quadratic. error criterion and a linear dynamic. process, the optimum configuration of the control system is defined and discussed in terms of available measurements.

For the case where, in addition, the control xxriable is not restricted in range, topics of separability and linearity are presented.
