Optimal Control Theory for Applications

By David G. Hull

Book Overview

Optimization, the area of mathematics concerned with finding the "best" points, curves, surfaces, etc., has many uses in engineering research and applications. Optimal Control Theory for Applications teaches analytical optimization at the graduate level. To make the material accessible to a wide audience, the prerequisites are limited to calculus and differential equations. Example problems are not tied to any engineering discipline. This material will benefit and interest both beginning engineering graduate students, as well as practicing engineers with the same background.
