A method is presented whereby an optimal control may be obtained for a linear time-varying system with time delay. The performance criterion is quadratic with a fixed, finite upper limit, and results in a set of differential equations with boundary conditions whose solution yields an optimal feedback control. A numerical technique is developed for the solution of the differential equations, and two examples are worked.
