Linear quadratic optimal controller realisation on systolic arrays

Describes a new systolic architecture for linear quadratic optimal control. This is based on a square root algorithm requiring an orthogonal transformation to update the control gain matrix. The triangular systolic array uses O(n/sup 2//2) processing cells to reduce the iteration time from O(n/sup 3/) to O(n), where n is the number of state variables, and offers the potential for real-time application.<
