This talk is about discrete-time indefinite linear quadratic (LQ) optimal control problems in the presence of constraints on states and inputs. In the recent literature, a characterization of the optimal trajectories of LQ-problems was given in terms of strict dissipativity and turnpike properties at steady-states, provided that the stage cost is positive semidefinite. By taking the particular shape of the constraints into account, we show that these results can be generalized to indefinite cost functions and periodic orbits. In particular, sufficient conditions for strict dissipativity with respect to periodic orbits and steady-states in constrained indefinite LQ-problems are discussed. It is shown that the corresponding optimal periodic orbit can be computed explicitly using a non-strict dissipation inequality and is, in many cases, located on the boundary of the constraints. A similar technique is applied to analyze strict dissipativity at steady-states, where some of the arguments simplify. In particular, negative eigenvalues of the cost, the exact shape of the constraints, and the location of the optimal steady-state are highly intertwined and allow for an intuitive geometric interpretation.
