A Primer on the Calculus of Variations and Optimal Control Theory - Student Mathematical Library
Author: Mike Mesterton-Gibbons
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 calculus of variations and the more modern dev...  more »
