Computation of quadratic cost functionals for linear systems with multiple time delays
In this paper, we present a semianalytical method for evaluating quadratic cost functionals for linear time-invariant systems with multiple time delays. The main computational tasks involved in the method are the solution of a symbolic Diophantine equation by the Euclid algorithm and the factorization of a finite degree polynomial. To illustrate the numerical implementation of the proposed method, an example is provided.
