A Unified Pseudospectral Framework for Nonlinear Controller and Observer Design
Abstract
As a result of significant progress in pseudospectral methods for real-time dynamic optimization, it has become apparent in recent years that it is possible to present a unified framework for both controller and observer design. In this
paper, we present such an approach for nonlinear systems. The
method can be applied to a wide variety of nonlinear systems.
The convergence of the proposed computational method is guaranteed under verifiable conditions. Several numerical examples are also presented to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed computational framework.

Variance reduction for quantile estimates in simulations via nonlinear controls
Lewis, Peter A. W.; Ressler, Richard L. (Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1990-04); NPS-55-90-09Linear controls are a well known simple technique for achieving variance reduction in computer simulation. Unfortunately the effectiveness of a linear control depends upon the correlation between the statistic of interest ... -
