A Primer on Pontryagin's Principle in Optimal Control Paperback - 2009
by I. Michael Ross
From the publisher
This book introduces a student to Pontryagin's "Maximum" Principle in a tutorial style. How to formulate an optimal control problem and how to apply Pontryagin's theory are the main topics. Numerous examples are used to discuss pitfalls in problem formulation. Figures are used extensively to complement the ideas. An entire chapter is dedicated to solved example problems: from the classical Brachistochrone problem to modern space vehicle guidance. These examples are also used to show how to obtain optimal nonlinear feedback control. Students in engineering and mathematics will find this book to be a useful complement to their lecture notes.

Book Conditions Explained
Biblio’s Book Conditions
-
As NewThe book is pristine and free of any defects, in the same condition as when it was first newly published.
-
Fine (F)A book in fine condition exhibits no flaws. A fine condition book closely approaches As New condition, but may lack the crispness of an uncirculated, unopened volume.
-
Near Fine (NrFine or NF)Almost perfect, but not quite fine. Any defect outside of shelf-wear should be noted.
-
Very Good (VG)A used book that does show some small signs of wear - but no tears - on either binding or paper. Very good items should not have writing or highlighting.
-
Good (G or Gd.)The average used and worn book that has all pages or leaves present. ‘Good’ items often include writing and highlighting and may be ex-library. Any defects should be noted. The oft-repeated aphorism in the book collecting world is “good isn’t very good.”
-
FairIt is best to assume that a “fair” book is in rough shape but still readable.
-
Poor (P)A book with significant wear and faults. A poor condition book can still make a good reading copy but is generally not collectible unless the item is very scarce. Any missing pages must be specifically noted.
