An Approach to the Design of Optimal Linear Regulators with time Weighted Quadratic Performance Criteria

Abstract

A procedure for the design of optimal feedback controls for linear time-invariant systems relative to time-weighted quadratic performance criteria is presented. An example is given to demonstrate the control over transient behaviour given by the design based on time-weighted performance criteria.

Indexing Terms:

• Optimal Linear Regulators
