The approximation of reachable sets of control systems with integral constraint on controls (Q2471303)

A control system nonlinear with respect to the state variables and linear with respect to the control vector is considered. Realizations of the control are restricted by the integral constraint. The problem is to construct some approximation of the reachable set of the system. It is solved in a few steps. At each step there is constructed some set of controls and the corresponding solution of the given system generated by these controls. Each of subsequent sets is more suitable for approximation of the reachable set. Finally, there is constructed the approximation of a reachable set containing a finite number of points. The Hausdorff distance between this set and the reachable set is evaluated.
