Abstract

A general linear quadratic (LQ) optimal control problem, with the dynamic system being governed by a higher-order vector-valued ordinary differential equation and with inequality-constraints on the state vector and/or the control input, is studied. Based on an explicit characterization result, optimal solutions are obtained in closed-form. A constructive method for finding the closed-form optimal solutions is proposed, and two illustrative examples are included. © 1991, Taylor & Francis Group, LLC. All rights reserved.
