Features: This book primarily introduces the theory and application problems of optimal control for deterministic dynamic systems. The content includes: fundamental knowledge related to optimal control problems in classical variational methods, a simple proof of the maximum principle and its application in solving typical optimal control problems, dynamic programming methods for discrete and continuous systems, quadratic optimal control for linear systems, numerical algorithms for variational calculus and optimal control, and an introduction to optimal control problems for distributed parameter systems. Additionally, the book collects some examples to provide readers interested in this field with insights into practical applications. This book is suitable for graduate students or senior undergraduate students in applied mathematics, mechanics, engineering, and economic management, as well as for relevant technical personnel who can refer to it to solve dynamic optimization problems in various fields such as engineering, economic management, business, biology, and more.
