✦ Synopsis

The method of Lagrange multipliers is applied to find the optimal size distributions of isothermal continuous stirred tank reactors (CSTR) with fixed terminal constraints, to carry out a simple reaction. The control variables minimizing the Lagrangian of the problem can be found 'by the well known first and second order gradient techniques, or simply by using a non-linear root finder computer program. The technique is also applicable to nonisothermal CSTR optimization.

This paper considers a linear-nonquadratic optimal control problem subject to nonlinear terminal inequality constraints. We approximate it by a series of approximate problems via the penalty method. It is shown that the optimal control functions of the approximate problems uniformly converge to the

this paper we derive optimal state feedback laws for end-point optimization of a dynamic system where the final time is free and the system has a scalar inequality constraint. The existence of a singular region as well as the nuture of the state feedback law (static or dynamic) is completely charact
