Zero overshoot criterion from the initial point $x_0$ to the final $x_*$, $x_*$ unknown in advance
Suppose a system is described by the following ODE:
$$\dot{x} = f(t,x)+u$$
where
$x$ denotes the state of the system
$f(x,t)$ is an unknown nonlinear function which meets the following condition:
$$ ...

Which way of solving from nonlinear control to choose?
I have a nonlinear system:
\begin{cases} x'=f(x)+u \\ y=f(x) \end{cases}
where $f(x)$ - gradient of some one-extremal function (for example $f=e^{-(x)^2}$), i.e. $\frac{df}{dx}$.
Task:
I want ...

Controlling the dynamics of nonlinear systems with an unknown steady state
On the one hand, the question is simple, on the other hand, I need the help of specialists in control theory.
Let's take a simple gradient dynamical system:
$\frac{dx}{dt}=\frac{df}{dx}$
where $f=e^{-(...

Numeric quadrature vs summation of running costs in model predictive control
Usually, an MPC consists of discretizing the optimal control problem in time using some numerical quadrature scheme. So the infinite-dimensional OCP reads
$$\begin{aligned}J(\vec{u}) &= \varphi\...
