Abstract:
We consider an optimal linear-quadratic control problem for a control system
where the matrices corresponding to the state in the controlled process equation
and the cost functional are absolutely integrable over an infinite time
interval. The integral quadratic performance index includes two mutually
inversely proportional time-weighting functions. It is shown that a well-known
linear stable feedback law turns out to be optimal with respect to criteria from
the class of the extended long-run averages. The results are applied to studying
a control system under time-varying dynamic scaling of its parameters.
Keywords:stochastic linear-quadratic regulator, pathwise optimality, inversely proportional time-weighting of costs, absolutely integrable state matrix.
