Optimal Control Systems

Written as a second-level graduate text with contents not found in any other single book, Optimal Control Systems provides an accessible yet comprehensive treatment of the subject. In a simplified, accessible presentation, the author focuses on the control of deterministic, dynamic physical systems. It also covers both continuous-time and discrete-time optimal control systems, giving readers a firm grasp on both methods. The author incorporates just the right amount of mathematical rigor, integrates the use of both MATLAB and SIMULINK throughout the book, offers numerous exercise problems and a summary table with step-by-step solutions, and provides a solutions manual for qualifying course adoptions.
