Abstract :
Outlines a new methodology for generating economic plans and budgets for design projects. This approach is based on an extension of the Kohn-Nerode hybrid system models and algorithms. Given a hybrid system model of a distributed system and a performance specification for that system (expressed as a relaxed variational problem of minimizing the integral of a Lagrangian over a trajectory on a suitable manifold), the authors extract a nearly optimal chattering control program which forces the system to obey its performance specification
