A Hybrid Bellman Equation for Bimodal Systems

Abstract. In this paper we present a dynamic programming formulation of a hybrid optimal control problem for bimodal systems with regional dynamics. In particular, based on optimality-zone computations, a framework is presented in which the resulting hybrid Bellman equation guides the design of optimal control programs with, at most, N discrete transitions.
