Path: Common/Control
% Implements a phase plane controller.
The optimality condition is
J = T + k*integral[0,T]( |u| dt )
where u is the control and T is the final time.
The solution consists of two switching curves. When k is inf you
get the time-optimal solution with one switching curve. If k > 0
you will get two switching curves. The former is known as a
"bang-bang" controller and the latter a "bang-zero-bang" controller.
The deadband separates the switching curves at the origin by db.
The rate limit sets u = 0 if the state is within the control.
Type PhasePlane for a demo.
