✦ Synopsis

There exist various methods for designing dynamical systems and dynamical games in order to ensure correctness and optimality. In the paper, they are systematically organized as follows. Two variational principles are recalled. Firstly, solutions must be stationary: this leads to necessary conditions and to gradient algorithms. Secondly, solutions, if any, must be optimal or correct; this leads to sufficient conditions and to dynamic-programming algorithms. Methods based on these principles allow to design dynamical systems and games such as control systems, hybrid systems and reactive ones. Time may be discrete or continuous; correctness can be viewed as an abstraction of optimality. The structured presentation of design methods is intended to foster their understanding, integration, cross-fertilization and improvement.

The trajectory design of horizontal well is a optimal control problem of nonlinear multistage dynamical system. It is often sought using trial-and-error methods, but these methods depend on experience of designers and workers. In this paper, we create new optimal control model of nonlinear dynamical

## Abstract By building on earlier established work, a nonrecursive approach to design optimization is proposed. A β€œfractal” method of design is developed that embraces the entire space of candidate system solutions. It provides for the direct synthesis of optimal system design solutions of complex
