Automated derivation of optimal regulators for nonlinear systems by symbolic manipulation of Poisson series
Concepts of programmability and compact programmability are defined relative to a class of modified Poisson series. Lie series based canonical perturbation methods from astrodynamics are applied to the Hamiltonian system boundary-value problem, and more usual methods are applied to the perturbed Hamiltonian-Jacobi-Bellman partial differential equation, in order to obtain a complete set of equations for the perturbed optimal feedback control law for both infinite-time and finite- time regulator problems. The relative advantages of each approach are evaluated. A major aim of the paper is to determine the largest class of perturbations, within the set of Poisson series, for which the equations can be derived on a computer by symbolic manipulation. The more general the class, the more accurate the perturbation solution can be, for a given order. The solutions developed are complete; all that remains is to program them in order to have computerized derivations of the optimal nonlinear feedback control laws.
