Abstract
A complete analytic characterization and solution construction (done either explicitly or by recursion) for the minimax control problem using optimal rate feedback is given for the case when the plant consists of a known fixed set of coupled oscillators of cardinality not exceeding three. When this is not the case, the problem appears to be analytically intractable, and suboptimal solutions based on numerical techniques are currently the only recourse.
