The optimal control law is presented for a discrete-time, single-input, extremal control system where the extremal position is a stochastic variable and measurement noise and dynamic lags are neglected. The law is derived by the method of dynamic programming, and it gives an indication of the genela

β¦ Synopsis
Three mode control with Ziegler-Nichols or Cohen-Coon controller settings is shown to be the solution to an optimal control problem for a linear first order system with dead time and a quadratic cost functional. The implication of this result is that in the absence of an economically meamngful cost criterion there is no reason to prefer the results of optimal control theory to traditional design procedures for feedback control systems. The multivariable generalization of the optimal control uroblem solved here Drovides the means for extending classical control experience in design of single ioop processes to mul&riable control systems.

An approximation to the optimal modal control in terms of the first, lowest, mode of the distributed system is proposed. It is assumed that the modes occur with different probabilities and the expected value of the usual cost functional is minimized. The piecewise modal approximation as introduced i
A strategy for optimizing the performance of a laboratory-scale combustor with respect to volumetric heat release (maximize) and pressure fluctuations (minimize) has been developed. This strategy utilizes (1) actuation techniques that simultaneously control volumetric heat release and pressure fluct
The purpose of this research is to examine a particular non-application-specific active control strategy for reproducing noise and vibration. The mechanical power absorbed by a controller is taken as a cost function to be maximized. The models suggest that an adaptive scheme to maximize the power ab
