A new method to find the optimal control of time delay systems with quadratic performance index is discussed. The method is based on hybrid functions. The properties of the hybrid functions which consists of block-pulse functions and orthonormal Taylor series are presented. The operational matrices of integration, delay, dual and product are used to reduce the solution of optimal control time delay system to the solution of algebraic equations. Numerical examples are included to illustrate the effectiveness and validity of the technique.

In this paper, a numerical technique based on the Hartley series for solving a class of time-delayed optimal control problems (TDOCPs) is introduced. The main idea is converting such TDOCPs into a system of algebraic equations. Thus, we first expand the state and control variables in terms of the Hartley series with undetermined coefficients. The delay terms in the problem under consideration are expanded in terms of the Hartley series. Applying the operational matrices of the Hartley series including integration, differentiation, dual, product, delay, and substituting the estimated functions into the cost function, the given TDOCP is reduced to a system of algebraic equations to be solved. The convergence of the proposed method is extensively investigated. At last, the precision and applicability of the proposed method is studied through different types of numerical examples.

In this paper we present a method to find the solution of time-varying systems using orthonormal Bernstein polynomials. The method is based upon expanding various time functions in the system as their truncated orthonormal Bernstein polynomials. Operational matrix of integration is presented and is utilized to reduce the solution of time-varying systems to the solution of algebraic equations. Illustrative examples are included to demonstrate the validity and applicability of the technique.
