Time-optimal control - Coupled system of equations, control to the origin

183 Views Asked by At

I want to find the time-optimal control to the origin $\underline 0$ for the following:

$\dot{x}_1=-3x_1 + x_2$ and $\dot{x}_2 = x_1 - 3x_2 + u$, $|u|\leq 1$

How do I go about doing this. I simply want an order of required tasks.

I think it is something like:

1) Convert to matrix form

2) Find eigenvalues of system

3) Construct Hamiltonian

4) Solve for variables

But I am unsure. Thank you!


Attempt(editting as I go):

$\begin{pmatrix} \dot{x}_1 \\ \dot{x}_2 \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} -3 & 1\\ 1 &-3 \end{pmatrix}\begin{pmatrix} x_1 \\ x_2 \end{pmatrix} + u\begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix}$

$(-3-\lambda)^2 =1$, $\lambda = -2,-4$, since this is real and of the same sign, it is a stable improper node.

Hamiltonian: $H = \psi_0f_0 + \psi_1f_1+\psi_2f_2= \psi_1(-3x_1+x_2) + \psi_2(x_1-3x_2+u)$

Look at $u^* = \pm 1$

$u^*=1$ $$-3x_1+x_2=0,$$ $$x_1-3x_2+1=0$$ $$x_1=\frac18,x_2=\frac38$$

$u^*=-1$ $$-3x_1+x_2=0$$ $$x_1-3x_2-1=0$$ $$x_1=-\frac18,x_2=-\frac38$$
