The associated Hamiltonian pencil may be singular and may have infinite generalised eigenvalues (IGEs) of multiplicity > 1. Besides on x(0+), we present optimality conditions on x(0-). We present sufficient conditions for stability of the optimal closed-loop descriptor system, as well as a stabilisation algorithm.", pages = "155-170(16)", url = "http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/tandf/tcon/2009/00000082/00000001/art00012" doi = "doi:10.1080/00207170802029597" }
