Herein is proposed a concise algorithmic procedure for deriving a minimum l∞-norm solution of the system of consistent linear equations Ax=b, where A
is a m×n matrix, b is given as a m×1
vector and x is a n×1 unknown vector. The proposed
algorithm is developed based on the geometrical analysis of the
characteristics of the minimum infinity-norm solution. The proposed algorithm is
well-structured so that it may be implemented easily through simple
linear algebraic manipulation. For the case of n>m, the basic
idea of the method is extended to finding internally mapped
vertices when a n dimensional polytope is transformed into m
dimensional polytope through consistent linear mapping A. The proposed method
is applied to the task velocity analysis for robot manipulators
with joint velocity constraints.
