%S Progress in Systems and Control Theory %A A.B. Kurzhanski %A I. Valyi %O Proceedings of a IIASA Workshop held in Sopron, Hungary, June 1989 %T Ellipsoidal techniques for the problem of control synthesis %X This paper introduces a technique for solving the problem of control synthesis for linear systems with constraints on the controls. Taking a scheme based on the notion of extremal aiming strategies of N. N. Krasovski, the present paper concentrates on constructive solutions generated through ellipsoidal-valued calculus and related approximation techniques for set-valued maps. Namely, the primary problem which originally requires an application of set-valued analysis is substituted by one which is based on ellipsoidal-valued functions. This yields constructive schemes applicable to algorithmic procedures and simulation with computer graphics. %N 9 %P 169-184 %B Nonlinear Synthesis %C USA %D 1991 %I Birkhäuser Boston %R 10.1007/978-1-4757-2135-5_12 %L iiasa13507
