This paper extends the application of continuous Chebyshev wavelet expansions to find the optimal solution of linear timevarying systems using two different approaches. By using the product of two time functions together with the operational matrix of integration, the system of state equations are changed into a set of algebraic equations which can be solved using a digital computer. In addition, the Chebyshev wavelets are more successful to find the optimal solution of linear time-varying systems when compared with the other existing mentioned algorithms. Finally, the main feature of this paper over similar possible works is that the use of the Lagrange multipliers approach gives more accurate results in comparison with the results of the Riccati approach. The given examples support these claims.
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.
