With a strong emphasis on problem solving, the book provides all the necessary mathematical analyses and derivations of important results, including multiplier theorems and Pontryagin's principle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe text begins by introducing various examples of optimal control, such as batch distillation and chemotherapy, and the basic concepts of optimal control, including functionals and differentials. It then analyzes the notion of optimality, describes the ubiquitous Lagrange multipliers, and presents the celebrated Pontryagin principle of optimal control. Building on this foundation, the author examines different types of optimal control problems as well as the required conditions for optimality. He also describes important numerical methods and computational algorithms for solving a wide range of optimal control problems, including periodic processes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThrough its lucid development of optimal control theory and computational algorithms, this self-contained book shows readers how to solve a variety of optimal control problems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Simant Ranjan Upreti\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1439838941\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781439838945\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e CRC Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/13\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 308\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.27lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.20w x 0.90d","brand":"Simant Ranjan Upreti","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43935007867135,"sku":"9781439838945","price":250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_4355bd9a-0c17-41eb-a24f-7f391f0a6d7c.jpg?v=1681417315","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/optimal-control-for-chemical-engineers-simant-ranjan-upreti-9781439838945","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
