Path: Common/Control
% Implements a phase plane controller. The optimality condition is J = T + k*integral[0,T]( |u| dt ) where u is the control and T is the final time. The solution consists of two switching curves. When k is inf you get the time-optimal solution with one switching curve. If k > 0 you will get two switching curves. The former is known as a "bang-bang" controller and the latter a "bang-zero-bang" controller. The deadband separates the switching curves at the origin by db. The rate limit sets u = 0 if the state is within the control.
