Abstract: | This paper treats an approximate solution of optimal control problem by means of the linear programming technique. Let the system be linear, then the solution of a set of differential equations which governs the system is given by the variation-of-constants formula. The state variables of the system at a fixed time are described by the definite integral, the integrand of which is a linear form in control variables. Upon use of a suitable integration formula, the integrals are approximately represented by a weighted sum of a finite number of values of the integrand. By introducing auxiliary variables, the performance index which is required to be minimum is expressed as a linear function of the variables subject to constraints. Thus, the minimization of a functional is approximately reduced to the minimization of a linear function of many variables subject to linear constraints. This problem is a linear programming problem, and can be solved by using the simplex method. A feasible basic solution to the linear program is shown also. |
