Dynamical systems that compute time-optimal switchings

• AUTHORS: F. Grognard, R. Sepulchre, J de Dona.
• ABSTRACT:

It is well known that the minimum time bounded control of linear systems is generically bang-bang and that the number of switchings does not exceed the dimension of the system if the eigenvalues of the system matrix are real. We propose a synthesis method for such problems based on dynamical systems that 'compute' the optimal sequence of switching times.
