This note studies a class of discrete-time nonlinear systems which depend on a small parameter. Using the singular perturbation theory in a systematic way, we give a trajectory approximation result based on the decomposition of the model into reduced and boundary layer models. This decomposition is used to analyze optimal control via maximum principle of such systems. As a result, significant order reduction of optimal control problems is achieved.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
