Synopsis
"Each chapter contains a well-written introduction and notes. They include the author's deep insights on the subject matter and provide historical comments and guidance to related literature. This book may well become an important milestone in the literature of optimal control." --Mathematical Reviews "Thanks to a great effort to be self-contained, [this book] renders accessibly the subject to a wide audience. Therefore, it is recommended to all researchers and professionals interested in Optimal Control and its engineering and economic applications. It can serve as an excellent textbook for graduate courses in Optimal Control (with special emphasis on Nonsmooth Analysis)." --Automatica

From the Back Cover
Optimal Control brings together many of the important advances in 'nonsmooth' optimal control over the last several decades concerning necessary conditions, minimizer regularity, and global optimality conditions associated with the Hamilton Jacobi equation. The book is largely self-contained and incorporates numerous simplifications and unifying features for the subject s key concepts and foundations.
Features and Topics:
* a comprehensive overview is provided for specialists and nonspecialists
* authoritative, coherent, and accessible coverage of the role of nonsmooth analysis in investigating minimizing curves for optimal control
* chapter coverage of dynamic programming and the regularity of minimizers
* explains the necessary conditions for nonconvex problems
This book is an excellent presentation of the foundations and applications of nonsmooth optimal control for postgraduates, researchers, and professionals in systems, control, optimization, and applied mathematics.

OPTIMAL CONTROL
Seller: LIBRERIA LEA+, Santiago, RM, Chile
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Dura. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: Nuevo. No Aplica (illustrator). 0. Optimal Control provides a unified perspective on a new generation of optimization problems, arising in advanced engineering design, operations research and mathematical economics that are beyond the reach of traditional analytical and computational techniques. The fields has broad applications in such areas as process control, flight mechaniscs, and robotics and resourse allocation. It is also a powerful stimulus to research in nonlinear analysis and other branches of mathematics. Optimal Control bring together many of the important advances in nonsmooth optimal control of the last two decades concerning necessary conditions, minimizer regularity, and global optimality conditions associated with the Hamilton-Javobi equation. The analysis is largely self-contained and incorporates many of the simplifications and unifying features of optimal control revealed by recent research. 820 gr. Libro.
