We present the conditions under which the time-optimal control problem for a nonlinear non-autonomous linearizable system can be solved by the method of successive approximations, at each step of which a power Markov moment min-problem is solved. The proposed method can be efficiently implemented by use of symbolic and numerical calculations.
The paper continues the authors' study of the linearizability problem for nonlinear control systems. In the recent work [K. Sklyar, Systems Control Lett. 134 (2019), 104572], conditions on mappability of a nonlinear control system to a preassigned linear system with analytic matrices were obtained. In the present paper we solve more general problem on linearizability conditions without indicating a target linear system. To this end, we give a description of invariants for linear non-autonomous single-input controllable systems with analytic matrices, which allow classifying such systems up to transformations of coordinates. This study leads to one problem from the theory of linear ordinary differential equations with meromorphic coefficients. As a result, we obtain a criterion for mappability of nonlinear control systems to linear control systems with analytic matrices.
A complete analytic solution for the time-optimal control problem for nonlinear control systems of the form $\dot x_1=u$, $\dot x_j=x_1^{j-1}$, $j=2,\ldots,n$, is obtained for arbitrary $n$. The main goal of the paper is to present the following surprising observation: this nonlinear optimality problem leads to a truncated Hausdorff moment problem, which is applied essentially for finding the optimal time and optimal controls.
