Optimal control of 2-D systems

Two-dimensional (2-D) optimal control theory that parallels one-dimensional (1-D) optimal control is developed. A generalized performance measure suited to 2-D systems is introduced. The canonical equations associated with this performance measure and a general nonlinear model are obtained. The 2-D linear quadratic regulator problem is formulated, and its canonical equations are derived for the Roesser model. An earlier result by T. Kaczorek and J. Klamka (1986) for the solution of the minimum-energy problem with fixed-final local state is rederived using this approach. A new problem, minimum-energy with fixed-final-pass local states is formulated and solved, and a numerical example is given.< >
