Optimal Control Systems 1st Edition

Best Control Systems presents a thorough yet approachable handling of the subject with just the appropriate level of mathematical precision to be comprehensive yet practical. It establishes a firm connection between “traditional” optimization utilizing the calculus of variations and what is commonly referred to as “modern” optimal management. It also addresses both continuous-time and discrete-time optimal management systems, equipping students with a solid understanding of both methods. One of the most outstanding features of this resource is a concise table that accompanies each topic or problem, providing a statement of the problem along with a step-by-step solution. Students can also gain valuable experience in using industry-standard MATLAB and SIMULINK software, together with the Control System and Symbolic Math Toolboxes.

Diverse applications across fields from energy engineering to medicine make a grounding in optimal management systems an essential component of an engineer’s background. This clear, streamlined presentation is ideal for a postgraduate-level course on management systems and as a quick reference guide for practicing engineers.
