SET-VALUED DYNAMICS IN PROBLEMS OF MATHEMATICAL THEORY OF CONTROL PROCESSES

The dynamics and properties of set-valued states of differential control systems with uncertainties in initial data are studied. It is assumed that the dynamical system has a special structure, in which nonlinear terms in the right-hand sides of related differential equations are quadratic in state coordinates. We construct external and internal ellipsoidal estimates of reachable sets of nonlinear control system and find differential equations of proposed ellipsoidal estimates of reachable sets of nonlinear control system. The results obtained for quadratic system nonlinearities are extended to other types of control systems under uncertainty. © 2012 World Scientific Publishing Company
