Method for Constructing Piecewise Quadratic Value Functions in a Control Problem for a Switched System

The problem of constructing internal approximations to solvability sets and the control synthesis problem for a piecewise linear system with control parameters and disturbances (uncertainties) are solved. The solution is based on the comparison principle and piecewise quadratic value functions of a special form. Relations defining such functions and, in particular, “continuous binding conditions” for the functions and their first derivatives are obtained. The results are used to construct numerical methods for solving the control synthesis problem for the class of switched systems under study. An example of approximate solution of the control synthesis problem in a target control problem for a nonlinear mathematical model of a pendulum with a flywheel is considered.
