 | A Primer on the Calculus of Variations and Optimal Control Theory (Student Mathematical Library) (1st Edition) by Mike Mesterton-Gibbons Paperback, 252 Pages, Published 2009 ISBN-10: 0-8218-4772-4 / 0821847724 ISBN-13: 978-0-8218-4772-5 / 9780821847725 The calculus of variations is used to find functions that optimize quantities expressed in terms of integrals. Optimal control theory seeks to find functions that minimize cost integrals for systems described by differential equations. This book is an introduction to both the classical theory of the | |
