Abstract
The system under consideration is that of a motor, coupled by a gear train to an inertial load, where the requirement is to rotate the load by a given angle and come to a halt. The question considered is whether the use of a variable gear, instead of one with constant ratio, will reduce the required energy, and if so, what are the optimal gear ratio function and the corresponding control function.
