Abstract

This paper considers optimal control data scheduling for finite-horizon linear quadratic regulation (LQR) control of scalar systems with limited controller-plant communication. Both the single-system and multiple-system scenarios are studied. For the first scenario, we derive the necessary and sufficient condition for a comparison function to be positive. Using this condition, the optimality of an explicit schedule is extended from unstable systems in the existing work to general systems. For the second scenario, we are able to construct explicit optimal scheduling policies for three particular classes of problems. Numerical examples are provided to illustrate the proposed results.
