Application of poli-criterial linearization for control problem of stochastic dynamic systems

The problem of the determination of response characteristics and quasi-optimal control for nonlinear stochastic dynamic systems by using a multi-criteria linearization technique is presented in this paper. This idea was first introduced in previous author's paper (Socha, 1999a) for a simple dynamic system. In this paper, it is extended, and detailed analysis is given for a nonlinear oscillator with Gaussian external excitations and for a few criteria of statistical linearization. The obtained results are illustrated by a numerical example for Duffing's oscillator.
