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. The author incorporates just the right amount of mathematical rigor and integrates the use of both MATLAB and SIMULINK throughout the book, offers numerous exercise problems, and provides a solutions manual with qualifying course adoptions.
