A nonlilear controller for ship autopilots

Conventional ship autopilots are designed based on a linear ship model using pole - placement technique or linear optimal theory.However, in operation, the ship kinematical Console parameters can go out the linear limits.In this paper, a nonlinear optimal control law based on aggregated variables is presented.The criterion is chosen so that the dyn
