Uncertainty theory is a branch of mathematics for modeling human uncertainty based on the normality, duality, subadditivity, and product axioms. This paper studies a discrete-time LQ optimal control with terminal state constraint, whereas the weighting matrices in the cost function are indefinite and the system states are disturbed by uncertain noises. We first transform the uncertain LQ problem into an equivalent deterministic LQ problem. Then, the main result given in this paper is the necessary condition for the constrained indefinite LQ optimal control problem by means of the Lagrangian multiplier method. Moreover, in order to guarantee the well-posedness of the indefinite LQ problem and the existence of an optimal control, a sufficient condition is presented in the paper. Finally, a numerical example is presented at the end of the paper.

This paper deals with a discrete-time uncertain linear quadratic (LQ) optimal control, where the control weight costs are indefinite . Based on Bellman’s principle of optimality, the recurrence equation of the uncertain LQ optimal control is proposed. Then, by using the recurrence equation, a necessary condition of the optimal state feedback control for the LQ problem is obtained. Moreover, a sufficient condition of well-posedness for the LQ problem is presented. Furthermore, an algorithm to compute the optimal control and optimal value is provided. Finally, a numerical example to illustrate that the LQ problem is still well-posedness with indefinite control weight costs.

This paper studies the indefinite stochastic linear quadratic (LQ) optimal control problem with an inequality constraint for the terminal state. Firstly, we prove a generalized Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) theorem under hybrid constraints. Secondly, a new type of generalized Riccati equations is obtained, based on which a necessary condition (it is also a sufficient condition under stronger assumptions) for the existence of an optimal linear state feedback control is given by means of KKT theorem. Finally, we design a dynamic programming algorithm to solve the constrained indefinite stochastic LQ issue.

This paper studies the indefinite stochastic LQ control problem with quadratic and mixed terminal state equality constraints, which can be transformed into a mathematical programming problem. By means of the Lagrangian multiplier theorem and Riesz representation theorem, the main result given in this paper is the necessary condition for indefinite stochastic LQ control with quadratic and mixed terminal equality constraints. The result shows that the different terminal state constraints will cause the endpoint condition of the differential Riccati equation to be changed. It coincides with the indefinite stochastic LQ problem with linear terminal state constraint, so the result given in this paper can be viewed as the extension of the indefinite stochastic LQ problem with the linear terminal state equality constraint. In order to guarantee the existence and the uniqueness of the linear feedback control, a sufficient condition is also presented in the paper. A numerical example is presented at the end of the paper.

A method for determining the optimal control of unconstrained and linearly constrained linear dynamic systems with quadratic performance indices is presented. The method is based on a modified Fourier series approximation of each state variable that converts the linear quadratic (LQ) problem into a mathematical programming problem. In particular, it is shown that an unconstrained LQ problem can be cast as an unconstrained quadratic programming problem where the necessary condition of optimality is derived as a system of linear algebraic equations. Furthermore, it is shown that a linearly constrained LQ problem can be converted into a general quadratic programming problem. Simulation studies for constrained LQ systems, including a bang-bang control problem, demonstrate that the approach is accurate. The results also indicate that in solving high order unconstrained LQ problems the approach is computationally more efficient and robust than standard methods.
