This paper presents a successive approximation approach (SAA) designing optimal controllers for a class of nonlinear heat equations with a quadratic performance index. By using the SAA, the optimal control problem for nonlinear heat equations is transformed into a sequence of nonhomogeneous linear differential Riccati operator equations. The optimal control law obtained consists of an accurate linear feedback term and a nonlinear compensation term which is the limit of an adjoin vector sequence. By using the finite-step iteration of the nonlinear compensation sequence, we can obtain a suboptimal control law.

A new feedforward and feedback optimal control law for a class of nonlinear systems with persistent disturbances is presented in this paper. By using a successive approximation approach (SAA), the original nonlinear optimal control problem is transformed into a sequence of nonhomogeneous linear two-point boundary value (TPBV) problems. The optimal control law obtained consists of analytical linear feedforward and feedback terms and a nonlinear compensation term which is the limit of the solution sequence for the adjoint vector differential equations. By using the finite-step iteration of nonlinear compensation sequence, we can obtain a feedforward and feedback suboptimal control law. A disturbance observer is designed to get a physically realizable controller. Simulation examples show the effectiveness of the approach.

A successive approximation approach (SAA) is developed to obtain a new congestion controller for the nonlinear TD-SCDMA network control systems based on TCP/IP. By using the successive approximation approach, the original optimal control problem is transformed into a sequence of nonhomogeneous linear two-point boundary value (TPBV) problems. The optimal control law obtained consists of an accurate linear feedback term and a nonlinear compensation term that is the limit of the solution sequence of the adjoint vector differential equations. By using the finite-time iteration of nonlinear compensation term of optimal solution sequence, we can obtain a suboptimal control law for TD-SCDMA network control systems based on TCP/IP.

In this paper, we present a new decentralized observer for a class of nonlinear interconnected systems, based on an optimal control law using the two-point boundary value (TPBV) successive approximation approach. This technique, used previously to develop a nonlinear decentralized suboptimal control for a multimachine power system, inspired us to develop a new method to design a decentralized observer-based suboptimal control law for the same system. The TPBV approach is characterized by the transformation of each high order coupling nonlinear TPBV problem into a sequence of linear decoupling TPBV problems that uniformly converge to the optimal control for nonlinear interconnected large-scale systems. Sufficient conditions for the asymptotic stability of the developed feedback control scheme are proposed in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) constraints, which can be efficiently solved by the LMI optimization techniques, to compute the control and the observation gains of the overall system. We applied this approach to a three-machine power system which generators are nonlinear systems strongly interconnected. We demonstrated clearly, via advanced simulations, that this approach was able to bring good performances, improving effectively transient stability of this power system in few iterative sequences while allowing the reconstruction of its non-measurable state variables.

Abstract This paper considers a nonlinear suboptimal control problem for a near-space hypersonic vehicle's (NSHV's) attitude dynamics. The least-square and stable manifold methods first solve an unconstrained approximately optimal control law corresponding to the nonlinear attitude model. Then, to further meet the dynamic performance requirement of the attitude control system, a novel strategy based on the Koopman operator, symplectic geometric theory, and the stable manifold theorem is proposed to approximate the eigenvalues of the closed-loop nonlinear unconstrained approximated optimal control system. The weight matrices in the optimal performance index, which directly determine the output responses of the nonlinear attitude dynamics, can be appropriately designed according to the eigenvalues. The final control law considers the actuator constraints. The NSHV's closed-loop attitude control system is proved to be locally exponentially stable, and the suboptimality of the control law is analyzed. Numerical simulation demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.

It is always a challenge to design a real-time optimal full flight envelope controller for a miniature helicopter due to the nonlinear, underactuated, uncertain, and highly coupled nature of its dynamics. This paper integrates the control of translational, rotational, and flapping motions of a simulated miniature aerobatic helicopter in one unified optimal control framework. In particular, a recently developed real-time nonlinear optimal control method, called the θ-D technique, is employed to solve the resultant challenging problem considering the full nonlinear dynamics without gain scheduling techniques and timescale separations. The uniqueness of the θ-D method is its ability to obtain an approximate analytical solution to the Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman equation, which leads to a closed-form suboptimal control law. As a result, it can provide a great advantage in real-time implementation without a high computational load. Two complex trajectory tracking scenarios are used to evaluate the control capabilities of the proposed method in full flight envelope. Realistic uncertainties in modeling parameters and the wind gust condition are included in the simulation for the purpose of demonstrating the robustness of the proposed control law.
