Optimal Control Theory The Variational Method - Zhongjing Ma

This Book Focuses On How To Implement Optimal Control Problems Via The Variational Method. It Studies How To Implement The Extrema Of Functional By Applying The Variational Method And Covers The Extrema Of Functional With Different Boundary Conditions, Involving Multiple Functions And With Certain Constraints Etc. It Gives The Necessary And Sufficient Condition For The (continuous-time) Optimal Control Solution Via The Variational Method, Solves The Optimal Control Problems With Different Boundary Conditions, Analyzes The Linear Quadratic Regulator & Tracking Problems Respectively In Detail, And Provides The Solution Of Optimal Control Problems With State Constraints By Applying The Pontryagins Minimum Principle Which Is Developed Based Upon The Calculus Of Variations.
