Abstract

This article presents a new approach for solving the Optimal Controls of linear time delay systems with a quadratic cost functional. In this study, the Artificial Neural Networks are employed for convert delay optimal control problem to a unconstrained optimization problem. Then by using an optimization algorithm, the optimal control law is obtained. Finally, Illustrative examples are included to demonstrate the validity and applicability of the technique.
