LQ REGULATOR DESIGN METHOD FOR SYSTEM WITH DELAY BASED ON SPECTRAL DECOMPOSITION OF THE HAMILTONIAN.

A design method to construct an LQ regulator for a system with time-delay is proposed. It is based on a new technique for composing the solution of an infinite-dimensional Riccati equation using the spectral decomposition of the hamiltonian. This design method has the feature that the closed-loop poles can be calculated a priori from the open-loop poles and one scalar design parameter, so that we can choose the parameter to obtain an optimal control law which results in the desired degree of exponential stability of the closed-loop system.
