✦ Synopsis

In the study of optimal chemical processes it is necessary to take proper account of the discrete nature and complex structural topology of many elements of the plant. The solution of nonlinear variational equations may be used to prove the strong maximum principle of PONTRYAGIN for continuous systems with recycle and to demonstrate the reasons for the general failure of the analogous strong principle for staged systems in all but the simplest cases.
