Title
A note on an LQG regulator with Markovian switching and pathwise average cost
Abstract
We study a linear system with a Markovian switching parameter perturbed by white noise. The cost function is quadratic. Under certain conditions, we find a linear feedback control which is almost surely optimal for the pathwise average cost over the infinite planning horizon. 1. Introduction. We study a parameterized linear system perturbed by white noise. The parameters are randomly switching from one state to the other and are modelled as a finite state Markov chain; the values of the parameter and the state of the linear system are assumed to be known to the controller. The objective is to minimize a quadratic cost over the infinite planning horizon. Such dynamics arise quite often in numerous applications involving systems with multiple modes or failure modes, such as fault tolerant control systems, multiple target tracking, flexible manufacturing systems, etc. (3), (4), (9).
