Abstract:
A method for constructing a feedback that ensures the attraction of trajectories of an affine system to an equilibrium state and to a given manifold is proposed. The feedback is found in an analytical form as a solution to an auxiliary optimal control problem. Sufficient conditions for the existence of the optimal control are given. Application of the proposed method to some classes of linear and nonlinear systems is discussed.
Key words:attraction of trajectories, stability, sufficient optimality conditions, system design, existence of optimal control.
