Abstract

A new method for suboptimal feedback control of certain classes of distributed systems based on successive instantaneous minimization of the performance functional kernel is presented. This method is applicable to both linear and nonlinear systems.

The Lyapunov functional approach is extended to distributed systems, yielding two new suboptimal feedback control techniques. Also, an application of multilevel bang‐bang control to the first‐order hyperbolic system is presented and generalized.

Advantages and disadvantage ofthe suboptimal control techniques vis á vis open loop optimal control methods are listed, as well as comparative features of the suboptimal control methods.
