A Control Problem with a Partially Known Initial Condition

Resumo

We consider a linear control problem with a partially known initial condition. Kalman’s observability theory of linear controlled system is applied to derive constructive sufficient conditions under which the control process to attain a terminal set M can be decomposed into the following stages: first collect information on system output, then apply this information to reconstruct the system’s initial state, and finally proceed with active control to attain the terminal set M.
