This textbook offers a concise yet rigorous introduction to calculus of variations and optimal control theory, and is a self-contained resource for graduate students in engineering, applied mathematics, and related subjects. 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.
- Offers a concise yet rigorous introduction
- Requires limited background in control theory or advanced mathematics
- Provides a complete proof of the maximum principle
- Uses consistent notation in the exposition of classical and modern topics
- Traces the historical development of the subject
- Solutions manual (available only to teachers)
Leading universities that have adopted this book include:
- University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign ECE 553: Optimum Control Systems
- Georgia Institute of Technology ECE 6553: Optimal Control and Optimization
- University of Pennsylvania ESE 680: Optimal Control Theory
- University of Notre Dame EE 60565: Optimal Control
