2.5.3 The Treatment of Terminal Constraints<br />

In the preceding section, the optimal control action was developed<br />

under the condition that no constraints were placed in the terminal<br />

state Xc . In this section, a slightly modified version of the linear-<br />

quadratic cost problem will be analyzed in which the expected value of the<br />

terminal state is required to satisfy one or more conditions. Specifically,<br />

the system is again governed by the state equation<br />

2 = AXtGU+g<br />

with e Gaussian white noise satisfying<br />

This time, however, the performance index takes &he form<br />

(2.5.83)<br />

(2.5.84)<br />

Note that no measure of the terminal error is included in E(J,\ .; that is,<br />

.the performance index is a sub-case of the previous performance index in<br />

which the matrix A has been set equal to zero. The reason for this change<br />

will become agparent'shortly.<br />

Let z+ = ic*4) denote a P vector which is linearly related to<br />

the terminal state through<br />

+!(lk+) = +, = ffX$<br />

(2.5.86)<br />

where fl is a constant PXW matrix <strong>and</strong> where PS*l. Three different types<br />

of terminal constraints will be considered.<br />

is a scalar<br />

In the first case, the symbol W denotes the trace of the.matrixE {2+ Z'),<br />

Hence, the sum of the diagonal elements of E Z+ 2:; is required to be less<br />

i<br />

than or equal In.the'second Case, the individual diagonal<br />

elements of (c[z+ $\)iL ,, i = I, P > are required<br />
