On the External Estimation of Reachable and Null-Controllable Limit Sets for Linear Discrete-Time Systems with a Summary Constraint on the Scalar Control

Abstract

The problem of constructing reachable and null-controllable sets for stationary linear discrete-time systems with a summary constraint on the scalar control is considered. For the case of quadratic constraints and a diagonalizable matrix of the system, these sets are built explicitly in the form of ellipsoids. In the general case, the limit reachable and null-controllable sets are represented as fixed points of a contraction mapping in the metric space of compact sets. On the basis of the method of simple iteration, a convergent procedure for constructing their external estimates with an indication of the a priori approximation error is proposed. Examples are given.
