摘      要：We investigate the use of an approximation method for obtaining near-optimal solutions to a kind of nonlinear continuous-time(CT) system. The approach derived from the Galerkin approximation is used to solve the generalized Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman(GHJB) equations. The Galerkin approximation with Legendre polynomials(GALP) for GHJB equations has not been applied to nonlinear CT systems. The proposed GALP method solves the GHJB equations in CT systems on some well-defined region of attraction. The integrals that need to be computed are much fewer due to the orthogonal properties of Legendre polynomials, which is a significant advantage of this approach. The stabilization and convergence properties with regard to the iterative variable have been *** examples show that the update control laws converge to the optimal control for nonlinear CT systems.
