Abstract :
We consider infinite-horizon optimal regulation problems for nonlinear plants that are driven by an exogenous scheduling signal. Typically such a problem must be interpreted as a so-called overtaking optimal control problem. We use an associated, parameterized linear-quadratic problem of nonstandard type to discuss approximate solutions for the nonlinear problem. The approximate solutions of interest have the form of a gain-scheduled linear control law
