Description for Geometric Optimal Control: Theory, Methods and Examples
Hardback. Here is a comprehensive review of the fundamental conditions for optimality for finite-dimensional, deterministic, optimal control problems. Includes worked examples ranging from minimum surfaces of revolution to cancer treatment for novel therapy approaches. Series: Interdisciplinary Applied Mathematics. Num Pages: 660 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PBKJ; PBKQ; PBMP; TBJ. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 234 x 156 x 36. Weight in Grams: 1148.
This book gives a comprehensive treatment of the fundamental necessary and sufficient conditions for optimality for finite-dimensional, deterministic, optimal control problems. The emphasis is on the geometric aspects of the theory and on illustrating how these methods can be used to solve optimal control problems. It provides tools and techniques that go well beyond standard procedures and can be used to obtain a full understanding of the global structure of solutions for the underlying problem. The text includes a large number and variety of fully worked out examples that range from the classical problem of minimum surfaces of revolution to ... Read more
