  • Abstract
    Given the system x¿(t)=A(t)x(t)+u(t),where A(t)=¿A¿(t) and ¿u(t)¿¿1, it will be shown that the control u=¿x(t)/¿x(t)¿ drives any initial state to zero in such a manner that the response time, the consumed fuel, and a linear combination of time and control energy are minnimized. The theory is applied to the optimum angular velocity cotrol of a tumbling space body.
