Is the viscosity solution of Hamilton-Jacobi equation of practical use in optimal control?
My understanding is, given an optimal control problem, one can show that the optimal cost satisfies a Hamilton-Jacobi PDE and use dynamic programming to figure out the optimal control. However, ...

what's wrong with this robust control scheme?
I'm learning how to control a double integrator with $H_\infty$.
my model is simply
$$\begin{gather}
\dot{r} = v \\
\dot{v} = F/m \\
r(t_0) = 0\text{ m}, $v(t_0) = 0\text{ m/s}, m = 1000\text{ kg}

How to solve LMIs with equality constraints using MATLAB?
I would like to find n by n matrices P and Q that minimize
J = norm(P) + w*norm(Q), where w is a given weight,
subject to
P>=0, Q>=0, and f(P,Q)=0, where f(P,Q)=0 is a given function of P and R.
I ...

LQR vs. Numerical Optimal Control
I'm a little confused by the differences between LQR control and numerical optimal control (such as direct multiple shooting, direct collocation and pseudospectral optimal control). It seems that LQR ...

Equations of motion in matrix form and energy consumption
I am working on Lagrangian derived high-dimensional motion equations for a robot in matrix form. The structure of such an equation is known:
$M(q)\ddot{q}+C(q,\dot{q})\dot{q}+G(q)=0$
In here, $M(q)$, $...

Lyaponuv stability condition of linear systems for homogenous P in V(x) = x^T P x
I am currently learning about using Lyaponuv functions to find Linear Matrix Inequalities (LMIs) as conditions for stability of a linear time invariant system.
i.e.
$$
\dot{x}(t) = Ax(t)
$$
is stable ...
