Chapter 1. Introduction -- Chapter 2. Calculus of Variations -- Chapter 3. From Calculus of Variations to Optimal Control -- Chapter 4. The Maximum Principle -- Chapter 5. The Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman Equation -- Chapter 6. The linear quadratic regulator -- Chapter 7. Advanced topics |
| Summary |
"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"--Provided by publisher |
