Optimal Control: An Introduction to the Theory with Applications (Oxford Applied Mathematics and Computing Science Series) - Softcover
Synopsis
Systems that evolve with time occur frequently in nature and modelling the behavior of such systems provides an important application of mathematics. These systems can be completely deterministic, but it may be possible too to control their behavior by intervention through "controls". The theory of optimal control is concerned with determining such controls which, at minimum cost, either direct the system along a given trajectory or enable it to reach a given point in its state space. This textbook is a straightforward introduction to the theory of optimal control with an emphasis on presenting many different applications. Professor Hocking has taken pains to ensure that the theory is developed to display the main themes of the arguments but without using sophisticated mathematical tools. Problems in this setting can arise across a wide range of subjects and there are illustrative examples of systems from fields as diverse as dynamics, economics, population control, and medicine. Throughout there are many worked examples, and numerous exercises (with solutions) are provided.

Seller: Hamelyn, Madrid, M, Spain
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Condition: Bueno. : Este libro es una introducción directa a la teoría del control óptimo, con énfasis en la presentación de muchas aplicaciones diferentes. Entre los temas cubiertos se encuentran: la controlabilidad, los problemas de tiempo óptimo lineales y no lineales y la ecuación de estado lineal. Los sistemas que evolucionan con el tiempo se dan con frecuencia en la naturaleza y la modelización del comportamiento de tales sistemas proporciona una importante aplicación de las matemáticas. Estos sistemas pueden ser completamente deterministas, pero también puede ser posible controlar su comportamiento mediante la intervención a través de 'controles'.
