An open-loop feedback control approach to point-to-point control of linear continuous-time time-invariant dynamic systems

A combination of the classical frequency-domain and modern state-space approaches is employed to obtain an open-loop feedback control for a special class of control systems known as point-to-point (or terminal) control systems. The entire set of solution to the two-point-boundary-value problems is obtained. It is shown that the open-loop feedback control is equivalent to a linear state feedback control with time-varying feedback coefficient.<
