DESCRIPTION:
In-depth examinations cover applications of the theory to minimum time, minimum fuel, and to quadratic criteria problems. It serves as a bridge to the technical literature, enabling students to evaluate the implications of theoretical control work, and to judge the merits of papers on the subject.Rather than presenting an exhaustive treatise, Optimal Control offers a detailed introduction that fosters careful thinking and disciplined intuition. Geared toward advanced undergraduate and graduate engineering students, this text introduces the theory and applications of optimal control. The structure, properties, and engineering realizations of several optimal feedback control systems also receive attention.Special features include numerous specific problems, carried through to engineering realization in block diagram form. It develops the basic mathematical background, with a coherent formulation of the control problem and discussions of the necessary conditions for optimality based on the maximum principle of Pontryagin. The text treats almost all current examples of control problems that permit anal
"Regret that I could give only 5 stars" according to Chaitanya P. The book was shipped promptly and arrived in time. Well packaged and in excellent condition though used. Of course the content is really detailed and is useful for anyone wishing to intricacies of the maximum principle based optimal control along with problems.. "Four Stars" according to Aqeel S. Madhag. nice item, thanks
