Geared toward advanced undergraduate and graduate engineering
students, this text introduces the theory and applications of
optimal control. 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. 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. In-depth examinations cover
applications of the theory to minimum time, minimum fuel, and to
quadratic criteria problems. 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. The text
treats almost all current examples of control problems that permit
analytic solutions, and its unified approach makes frequent use of
geometric ideas to encourage students' intuition.
