✦ Synopsis

A modified form of the Discrete Maximum Principle (DMP) is derived for systems with finite memory. It is shown that this form of the DMP may be used for the optimal control of nonlinear continuous dynamics systems, when the control policies are bound to be piecewise constant. In this case the modified DMP allows one to determine, in an optimal way, both the control vectors and the switching points. A computational procedure for practical applications is presented. A numerical example is given relative to the computation of the optimal temperature sequence in a completely mixed batch reactor where two consecutive irreversible reactions are taking place.
