Guidance problem for a distributed system with incomplete information on the state coordinates and an unknown initial state

Abstract

We study the problem of guaranteed positional guidance of a linear partially observable control system with distributed parameters to a convex target set at a given time. The problem is considered under incomplete information. More precisely, we assume that the system is subjected to an unknown disturbance; in addition, the initial state is assumed to be unknown as well. Further, the sets of admissible disturbances and the set of admissible initial states, which is assumed to be finite, are known. An algorithm for solving the problem is suggested.
