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. date: 2002-12 date_type: published publication: Proc. 41th IEEE Conf. on Decision and Control volume: 2 publisher: IEEE place_of_pub: Las Vegas, Nevada USA, December 2002 pagerange: 1976-1981 id_number: 10.1109/CDC.2002.1184817 refereed: TRUE isbn: 0-7803-7516-5 book_title: Decision and Control Conference official_url: http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=1184817&isnumber=26567 citation: Bemporad, Alberto and Giua, Alessandro and Seatzu, Carla A master-slave algorithm for the optimal control of continuous-time switched affine systems.
