How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

For a continuous nonlinear control system on a finite time interval with control constraints, where the right-hand side of the dynamics equations is linear in control and linearizable in the vicinity of the zero equilibrium position, we consider the construction of a feedback according to the Kalman algorithm. For this, the solution of an auxiliary optimal control problem with a quadratic functional is used by analogy with the SDRE approach. Since this approach is used in the literature to find suboptimal synthesis in optimal control problems with a quadratic functional with formally linear systems, where all coefficient matrices in differential equations and criteria can contain state variables, then on a finite time interval it becomes necessary to solve a complicated matrix differential Riccati equations, with state-dependent coefficient matrices. This circumstance, due to the nonlinearity of the system, in comparison with the Kalman algorithm for linear-quadratic problems, significantly increases the number of calculations for obtaining the coefficients of the gain matrix in the feedback and for obtaining synthesis with a given accuracy. The proposed synthesis construction algorithm is constructed using the extension principle proposed by V. F. Krotov and developed by V. I. Gurman and allows not only to expand the scope of the SDRE approach to nonlinear control problems with control constraints in the form of closed inequalities, but also to propose a more efficient computational algorithm for finding the matrix of feedback gains in control problems on a finite interval. The article establishes the correctness of the application of the extension principle by introducing analogs of the Lagrange multipliers, depending on the state and time, and also derives a formula for the suboptimal value of the quality criterion. The presented theoretical results are illustrated by calculating suboptimal feedbacks in the problems of managing three-sector economic systems.
