    Control equation
Click For Summary
The discussion revolves around optimal control equations, specifically questioning the derivation of the equations related to the Hamiltonian. A participant notes a potential error in the first equation regarding a missing division by two. They also seek clarification on how the second equation, u = -λ, was derived. The conversation shifts to exam experiences, with one participant expressing relief at finding answers and hoping for a good grade despite feeling absent-minded during an open book exam. The overall focus remains on understanding optimal control conditions and their implications in coursework.

Now the first equation seems to be ##\dot{\lambda}=-H_{x}##, but they seem to forget to divide by two ##(3x^2+u^2)##, and the second equation, I am not sure how did they derive the second equation of ##u=-\lambda##? anyone here knows how?
thanks!

There are two optimality conditions and one of them is a necessary condition for the optimal control input $$ \frac{\partial H}{\partial u}=0 $$.

Yeah, I know that. Forgot to reply that I found my answer... I hope to get a good grade in this course.
I tell you the exam was an open book; and I got so absent minded as to how to answer a few questions.
It's a pitty because the exam was really easy. (I had three exams this week in a row... phou :oldeek: ).
 
Greetings to all, I am writing with a question regarding graph generation in LTSpice. I am using LTSpice XVII and am trying to plot AM-AM and AM-PM characterization for a power amplifier, but I haven't been successful yet, likely due to my lack of practice with this specific analysis. I have been using a square wave input at 8.2 MHz as the voltage waveform for my power amplifier. It is said that for a switching amplifier like Class-D, the AM-AM / AM-PM (amplitude-to-amplitude and...
Thread 'How do I determine the resistance for RLC low pass filter?'
Hi, I am trying to build a RLC low pass filter that atenuates the frequency below 4500 Hz. However, I have encountered some problem when choosing the correct R to work with. Here is the Circuit Here is the original sound. Here is my code in Matlab function Vout = myFilterCircuit(Vin,h) n_V = length(Vin); f_7 = 4470;; % Undesired frequency h_7 = h; % delta time % These are for the constant and initialization of the variables t_7 = 0:h_7:(n_V-1)*h_7; % This is the independent variable...
