An optimal regulator with prediction of disturbances (Q1390486)

The synthesis problem for the discrete control system \(x(t+h)=A(t,h)x(t)+b(t,h)u(t)\) obtained from the continuous one \(\dot x=A(t)x+b(t)u\) by quantization with respect to time with period \(h > 0\) is solved. At each current discrete moment of time \(t_k=kh,k = 0,1,2,\dots\) the proposed regulator constructs an optimal control for the current state, to which the system passes from the preceding one under the action of the control and the disturbance realized at this step. In addition, it also takes into account the future values of disturbances (for a few steps in advance) that are obtained by a prediction device. The algorithm for the operation of the optimal regulator consists in the correction of the previous optimal control in reaction to the continuous disturbances acting on the trajectory of the system. The proposed approach is based on a special realization of the dual method of linear programming for the solution of optimal control problems. Moreover, small changes of parameters of the system are a consequence of the permanent measurement of the current state of the system (with a small period of quantization \(h > 0\)). As a simple illustration of the obtained results, a discrete analog of the problem of acceleration of a material point is considered.
