Optimal Control: Calculus of Variations, Optimal Control Theory and Numerical Methods

by R. Bulirsch, A. Miele, K.H. Well, et al.

Book Overview

"Optimal Control" reports on new theoretical and practical advances essential for analysing and synthesizing optimal controls of dynamical systems governed by partial and ordinary differential equations. New necessary and sufficient conditions for optimality are given. Recent advances in numerical methods are discussed. These have been achieved through new techniques for solving large-sized nonlinear programs with sparse Hessians, and through a combination...
