I couldn't tell you the equivalent Euler-Lagrange equations, but consider
a system defined as dx_a/dt = f_a(x_a, u_a), where u_a = u'', x is
augmented with u' and u, and f_a is modified appropriately so that u' is
the integral of u'' and u is the integral of u'.

Then you should just be able to analyze this with the tools you have, maybe.

This is a great idea. It will work. I looked several optimal control
books and haven't seen this trick.

Thanks a lot.

Hi Mr. Wang and Mr. Tim Wescott,

Incidentally, I am interested in building a robot. May I know whta
kind of robot are currently working on? Is this a robot that has
vision, limbs, heads and stomach like a human being? Or is it just a
moving robot of any shape?

Thank you,

Boen S. Liong

I can't comment on other people's project. But my robot is a "simple"
one that it doesn't have head or limbs, no vision nor stomach. But it
is very complex for me already.
