Equations for Approximate Solutions Using Variational Calculus

performance” satisfaction, is characterized as a truncated uniform distribution.This result was applied to the performance analysis of engagementdurationand of several error sources.Linear theory enables the formulation of analytical solutions to the problem.When numericalMonteCarlo simulationsare used to search for theworstcase distribution,a limited number of simulation runs typically are neededfor the search.Moreover,when themiss distanceis a concave function of the con ict duration on a certain interval, the worstcase miss distance can be determined from a singe Monte Carlo trial.
