Closed-Loop Impulse Control of Oscillating Systems
Alexander B. KURZHANSKI, Alexander Daryin
This paper deals with the problem of damping the oscillations of a finite cascade of springs through impulsive controls in finite time. The control problem is treated as one of specifying a closed-loop (feedback) strategy and is solved by applying Hamiltonian technique in its Dynamic Programming version. A numerical algorithm is indicated and the limit case with control time tending to infinity is described.
