Nikolai P. Osmolovskii and Helmut Maurer
Advances in Design and Control 24
This book is devoted to the theory and applications of second-order necessary and sufficient optimality conditions in the calculus of variations and optimal control. The authors develop theory for a control problem with ordinary differential equations subject to boundary conditions of both the equality and inequality type and for mixed state-control constraints of the equality type. The book is distinctive in that
• necessary and sufficient conditions are given in the form of no-gap conditions;
• the theory covers broken extremals where the control has finitely many points of discontinuity; and
• a number of numerical examples in various application areas are fully solved.
Audience
This book is suitable for researchers in calculus of variations and optimal control and researchers and engineers in optimal control applications in mechanics; mechatronics; physics; chemical, electrical, and biological engineering; and economics.
