On cost design in applications of optimal control
read the original abstract
A new approach to feedback control design based on optimal control is proposed. Instead of expensive computations of the value function for different penalties on the states and inputs, we use a control Lyapunov function that amounts to be a value function of an optimal control problem with suitable cost design and then study combinations of input and state penalty that are compatible with this value function. This drastically simplifies the role of the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation, since it is no longer a partial differential equation to be solved, but an algebraic relationship between different terms of the cost. The paper illustrates this idea in different examples, including $\mathcal{H}_{\infty}$ control and optimal control of coupled oscillators.
