Discrete procedure of optimal stabilization for periodic linear systems of differential equations

We propose procedure to solve the optimal stabilization problem for linear periodic systems of differential equations. Stabilizing controls, formed as a feedback, are defined by the system states at the fixed instants of time. Equivalent discrete-time linear periodic problem of optimal stabilization is considered. We propose a special procedure for the solution of discrete periodic Riccati equation. We investigate the relation between continuous-time and discrete-time periodic optimal stabilization problems. The proposed method is used for stabilization of mechanical systems.
