Relativistic system and relativistic control

Abstract

Classical control theory and modern control theory satisfy the Galilean principle of relativity. If the velocity v of controlled systems is high that is to say, v approaches the velocity of light in vacuo, then the existing control theories must be transformed into relativistic form, i.e. based on relativistic physics, we must reform relativistic control theory, making it satisfy Einstein’s principle of relativity. Based on this, some properties of relativistic control theory are discussed in this paper.
