摘要: A successive approximation approach for designing optimal controllers is presented for discrete linear time-delay systems with a quadratic performance index. 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 without time-delay and time-advance terms. The optimal control law obtained consists of an accurate feedback terms and a time-delay compensation term which is the limit of the solution sequence of the adjoint equations. By using a finite-step iteration of the time-delay compensation term of the optimal solution sequence, a suboptimal control law is obtained. Simulation examples are employed to test the validity of the proposed approach.
