β¦ Synopsis
A class of optimal control problems for self-adjoint distributed-parameter systems is considered. An approach is proposed to damp the undesirable vibrations in the structures actively by means of pointwise controllers (actuators). Necessary conditions of optimality are derived as a set of independent integral equations which lead to explicit expressions for the pointwise controllers. A numerical example is presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the method.

## Abstract It is well known that the classical optimal control method requires all the state variables of the controlled system to be measurable and available for control feedback. However, for a highβorder or complex system some state variables are possibly unmeasurable in practice. In addition,
