The procedure iterates between a "master" procedure that finds an optimal switching sequence of modes, and a "slave" procedure that finds the optimal switching instants.}, url = {http://eprints.imtlucca.it/550/}, keywords = {continuous-time switched affine systems; decision variables; infinite-horizon optimal control problems; master-slave algorithm; operating modes; optimal control; optimal switching instants; optimal switching sequence; continuous time systems; linear systems; optimal control} }
