  • Abstract
    A given curve is approximated by a sequence of arcs pieced together continuously in such a way that each arc satisfies a linear differential equation of a general type with input vector constant in each interval. A computer algorithm based on a modified version of the discrete maximum principle for the optimal determination of the switching points and input vectors is outlined.
