Question

The performance index is reduced by:

(a) State variable constraint

(b) Input constraint

(c) Control function minimization

(d) Control function constraint

I got this question in a national level competition.

My query is from Optimal Control Problems in section Optimal Control Systems of Control Systems

Answer 1

The correct option is (c) Control function minimization

To explain: Once the performance index is calculated the next task is to find the control function which is used to minimize the performance index.
