Exact slow-fast decomposition of a class of non-linear singularly perturbed optimal control problems via invariant manifolds

We study a Hamilton-Jacobi partial differential equation, arising in an opt imal control problem for an affine non-linear singularly perturbed system. This equation is solvable iff there exists a special invariant manifold of the corresponding Hamiltonian system. We obtain exact slow-fast decompositi on of the Hamiltonian system and of the special invariant manifold into slo w and fast components. We get sufficient conditions for the solvability of the Hamiltonian-Jacobi equation in terms of the reduced-order slow submanif old, or, in the hyperbolic case, in terms of a reduced-order slow Riccati e quation. On the basis of this decomposition we construct asymptotic expansi ons of the optimal state-feedback, optimal trajectory and optimal open-loop control in powers of a small parameter.
