Summary:
This paper discusses the discretization method that is used in the implementation of an optimization-based nonlinear feedback controller called Iterative Linear Quadratic Regulator (ILQR). While a finite difference approximation is usually used in the field of control engineering, we propose to use the variational equation in the procedure of ILQR. The effectiveness of using the variational equation is examined through a case study with swing-up control of an inverted pendulum.
