Abstract
This paper presents a new technique for generating an approximation to the minimum performance functional V for optimization of dynamic systems. Convergence of the technique is shown and the results from two example systems are given. The resultant approximation V is shown to be useful over a significant region in state space for 1) generating a near optimal control law, 2) determining regions of stability, and 3) defining useful bounds associated with the system performance.Keywords
