Abstract

This paper provides two proofs to the well-known principle of max-min-max jerk control in time-optimal jerk-controlled rectilinear motion, whose proof seems to be missing in the literature. One proof is constructive in that it computes and finds out the solution; the other is a disproof in that it shows all other control schemes lead to longer motion time. The ideas employed in the proofs may be used to solve the same kind of problems in a more general setting.
