Query: Impact of packet dropouts on the performance of optimal controllers and
  observers   We investigate the impact of packet dropouts due to non-idealities in
communication networks on the performance of optimally derived controllers and
observers in a minimax sense. These packet dropouts are modeled by discrete
constrained switching signals via directed graphs. We consider time optimal
control and estimation, minimum energy and fuel optimization and LQR problems
for systems subject to packet dropouts which turn out to be combinatorial; and
compute algorithmically the worst case performance of these optimization
problems. To reduce the computational burden in solving these combinatorial
problems, a partial order is imposed on the switching signals. Validation of
the proposed methods is done over a set of randomly generated systems. Finally,
by associating the worst case performance for each optimal control problem to
the underlying network, one can optimize among the set of available
communication networks.
