We study a linear quadratic control problem for transportation optimization on a directed line graph. We show that the solution to the Riccati equation associated with this problem is highly structured. The feedback law is almost upper triangular, and the synthesis of the feedback law is given by a recursion, making it scalable. The structure of the feedback law also allows for an efficient realization of the controller using a local communication scheme.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
