Abstract

In this paper, we study the finite-time regulator problem for linear, autonomous, degenerate systems, i.e., systems described by the differential equation\(K\dot x = Ax + Bu(t)\) with det(K)=0. Two investigations of the regulator problem are presented, which depend on the quadratic cost associated with the differential equation.
