Design of a Time-Optimal Feedback Controller for Systems with Delay in Control

Time-optimal feedback controllers are studied for systems with delay in control. The control input is assumed to be bounded. Design methods are presented for continuous-time as well as discrete-time controllers. Sensitivities of the control system performance due to mismatches between the model and the plant are also studied. Finally, an adaptive time-optimal feedback controller is investigated which is capable of updating model parameters during normal system operation.
