Sub-optimal Tracking in Switched Systems with Controlled Subsystems and Fixed-mode Sequence using Approximate Dynamic Programming

Abstract: Optimal tracking in switched systems with controlled subsystem and Discrete-time (DT) dynamics is investigated. A feedback control policy is generated such that a) the system tracks the desired reference signal, and b) the optimal switching time instants are sought. For finding the optimal solution, approximate dynamic programming is used. Simulation results are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the solution.
