In attempting to reach a desired goal in an "optimum" fashion, he is faced immediately with two problems. The first of these is the decision of choosing the goal itself-the "payo
<span>In an expanding world with limited resources, optimization and uncertainty quantification have become a necessity when handling complex systems and processes. This book provides the foundational material necessary for those who wish to embark on advanced research at the limits of computability
Want to know not just what makes rockets go up but how to do it optimally? Optimal control theory has become such an important field in aerospace engineering that no graduate student or practicing engineer can afford to be without a working knowledge of it. This is the first book that begins from sc
