Control of Oscillating Systems with a Single Delay
Abstract
Systems are considered related to the control of processes described by oscillating second-order systems of differential equations with a single delay. An explicit representation of solutions with the aid of special matrix functions called a delayed matrix sine and a delayed matrix cosine is used to develop the conditions of relative controllability and to construct a specific control function solving the relative controllability problem of transferring an initial function to a prescribed point in the phase space.
