Abstract In this paper, an approach is proposed for solving a nonlinear-quadratic optimal regulator problem with linear static state feedback and infinite planning horizon. For such a problem, approximate problems are introduced and considered, which are obtained by combining a finite-horizon problem with an infinite-horizon linear problem in a certain way. A gradient-flow based algorithm is derived for these approximate problems. It is shown that an optimal solution to the original problem can be found as the limit of a sequence of solutions to the approximate problems. Several important properties are obtained. For illustration, two numerical examples are presented.
