This book introduces the technique of dynamic programming and shows how it can be used to solve problems in the calculus of variations. It discusses the basic elements of elasticity theory and some variational formulations of the relevant boundary-v...Loe edasi...
This monograph deals with cases where optimal control either does not exist or is not unique, cases where optimality conditions are insufficient of degenerate, or where extremum problems in the sense of Tikhonov and Hadamard are ill-posed, and other...Loe edasi...
