On properties of optimal controls for an inverted spherical pendulum

Optimization and Control 2019-09-12 v1

Abstract

In this paper we study an optimal control problem that is affine in two-dimensional bounded control. The problem is related to the stabilization of an inverted spherical pendulum in the vicinity of the upper unstable equilibrium. We find solutions stabilizing the pendulum in a finite time, wherein the corresponding optimal controls perform an infinite number of rotations along the circle S1S^{1}.
