Designed specifically for a one-semester course, the book begins with calculus of variations, preparing the ground for optimal control. It then gives a complete proof of the maximum principle and covers key topics such as the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman theory of dynamic programming and linear-quadratic optimal control. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eCalculus of Variations and Optimal Control Theory\u003c\/i\u003e also traces the historical development of the subject and features numerous exercises, notes and references at the end of each chapter, and suggestions for further study. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003cli\u003eOffers a concise yet rigorous introduction \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003cli\u003eRequires limited background in control theory or advanced mathematics \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003cli\u003eProvides a complete proof of the maximum principle \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003cli\u003eUses consistent notation in the exposition of classical and modern topics \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003cli\u003eTraces the historical development of the subject \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003cli\u003eSolutions manual (available only to teachers)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Leading universities that have adopted this book include: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003cli\u003eUniversity of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign ECE 553: Optimum Control Systems \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003cli\u003e Georgia Institute of Technology ECE 6553: Optimal Control and Optimization \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003cli\u003e University of Pennsylvania ESE 680: Optimal Control Theory\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003cli\u003e University of Notre Dame EE 60565: Optimal Control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Daniel Liberzon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0691151873\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780691151878\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Princeton University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/08\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.10h x 7.00w x 0.90d","brand":"Daniel Liberzon","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43993983647999,"sku":"9780691151878","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_93d7c02e-63d1-447f-9267-c81b2c650a59.jpg?v=1683327436","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/calculus-of-variations-and-optimal-daniel-liberzon-9780691151878","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
