Abstract
Implementation is one of the most pronounced difficulties in designing optimal feedback controllers to prevent the state variables of the system from exceeding predetermined bounds. A method to obtain approximately optimal feedback controllers based on the geometric features of the optimal open-loop solution of the bounded state variable problem is presented in this paper. Easily instrumentable controllers are designed and successfully tested on various plants to furnish a value of the performance criterion close to the optimal. Typical examples illustrate the approach.Keywords
