Product Description
A two-volume set, consisting of the latest editions of the two volumes (2005 for Vol. I, 2007 for Vol. II). Much supplementary material can be found at the book's web page http://www.athenasc.com/dpbook.html The first volume is oriented towards modeling, conceptualization, and finite-horizon problems, but also includes a substantive introduction to infinite horizon problems that is suitable for classroom use. The second volume is oriented towards mathematical analysis and computation, and treats infinite horizon problems extensively. This is a textbook on the far-ranging algorithmic methododogy of Dynamic Programming, which can be used for optimal control, Markovian decision problems, planning and sequential decision making under uncertainty, and discrete/combinatorial optimization. The treatment focuses on basic unifying themes, and conceptual foundations. It illustrates the versatility, power, and generality of the method with many examples and applications from engineering, operations research, and other fields. It also addresses extensively the practical application of the methodology, possibly through the use of approximations, and provides an introduction to the methodology of Neuro-Dynamic Programming, which is the focus of much recent research.

really nice book on dynamic programming... easy to understand and contains all requisite details.
Book Description
The first part of this book presents the essential topics for an introduction to deterministic optimal control theory. The second part introduces stochastic optimal control for Markov diffusion processes. It also inlcudes two other topics important for applications, namely, the solution to the stochastic linear regulator and the separation principle.

Great book on optimal control.......2003-09-09
This is a fantastic book on optimal control especially for readers who do not have to learn the math as they go. It covers a wide range of problems in a variety of disciplines and is an interesting book. The approach is relatively modern although a differential geometric approach is not utilized. For those wanting a pretty complete treatment of the basics of optimal control this will be a good supplement to the usual suspects or even a good stand alone text. Although the mathematical requirements are not very great, the reader who has them firmly in hand will be the most successful.
Good book on optimal control.......2000-08-15
This is one of the best books on optimal control. It covers a wide range of interesting material including parameter optimization, optimization for systems with constraints, feedback control and singular solutions of optimization. The book can be useful in teaching courses in control theory. There are plenty of exercises included in the text.

Book Description
This book provides a comprehensive, step-by-step treatment of the state-space H…à control theory, reflecting recent theoretical developments this area, in particular, and in the area of robust and H… à control theory in general. It offers as self-contained a presentation as possible and, for reference sake, includes many background results on linear systems, the theory and application of Riccati equations and model reduction.
Book Description
Geared toward upper-level undergraduates, this text introduces three aspects of optimal control theory: dynamic programming, Pontryagin's minimum principle, and numerical techniques for trajectory optimization. Numerous problems, which introduce additional topics and illustrate basic concepts, appear throughout the text. Solution guide available upon request. 131 figures. 14 tables. 1970 edition.

Very good book........2007-05-09
A really good book for introduction to Optimal Control. As a Power System specialist, I acquired a very good comprehension about optimal control using such book.
Very good introduction.......2007-04-07
A complete introduction to optimal control theory, both from the point of view of dynamic programming and the Pontryagin's maximum principle. Ideal for starters like myself!
Classic that never goes out of style.......2006-04-19
My professor chosed this book to use in an Optimal Control class partly because it is very affordable. On top of that, its contents are superb, giving very clear explanations of the fundamental principles underlying Optimal Control for nonlinear/linear systems.
Despite its long history, I would think that all material are still relevant, although there are available more "modern" numerical techniques (it's still always good to know how things were done "back in those days"). I would grade this as a must-have for the beginning student in Optimal Control. I have always been a fan of Dover books, publishing quality books at rock bottom prices. This one has just reinforced my liking of Dover Publishing.
Practical Excellent Introduction.......2005-11-17
It is an excellent "first book" which is very easy to read and covers broad range of topics: Dynamic Programming leading to Hamilton-Jacobi using Bellman's principle, Calculus of Variations, Hamiltonian Equations, Pontryagin's principle and finally numerical solutions (two point boundary value problems based and using direct methods from operations research methods).
A Global Optimum of an Optimal Control Book.......2005-06-10
This book is very reader friendly. It introduces Dynamic Programming, Variational Calculus, Pontryagin Minimum Principle and in its final section some Numerical Methods. Despite being published in the seventies, this is a truly GOOD CLASSIC (there are bad classics).
In my opinion, to the student, Kirk is superior to Citron, to Athans and to Lewis (this is more recent), that is, this book is more concerned about teaching people. Athans is more encyclopedic but much more time-consuming to read.
With Kirk you will really learn the elements of optimal control theory.
Book Description
Gas turbines play an important role in power generation and aeroengines. An extended survey of methods associated with the control and systems identification in these engines,
Dynamic Modelling of Gas Turbines reviews current methods and presents a number of new perspectives.
• Describes a total modelling and identification program for various classes of aeroengine, allowing you to deal with the engine’s behaviour over its complete life cycle.
• Shows how the above regime can be applied to a real engine balancing the theory with practical use.
• Follows a comparative approach to the study of existing and newly derived techniques thus offering an informed choice of controllers and models from the tried-and trusted to the most up-to-date evolutionary optimisation models.
• Presents entirely novel work in modelling, optimal control and systems identification to help you get the most from your engine designs.
Dynamic Modelling of Gas Turbines represents the latest research of three groups of internationally recognised experts in gas turbine studies. It will be of interest to academics working in aeroengine control and to industrial practitioners in companies concerned with their design. The work presented here is easily extendible to be relevant in other areas in which gas turbines play a role such as power engineering.
Book Description
Numerous examples highlight this treatment of the use of linear quadratic Gaussian methods for control system design. It explores linear optimal control theory from an engineering viewpoint, with illustrations of practical applications. Key topics include loop-recovery techniques, frequency shaping, and controller reduction. Numerous examples and complete solutions. 1990 edition.

Great Reference Book.......2007-05-14
It is a great reference book; though I believe you could learn the subject matter from the book, I can't speak for it. I am currently a Phd Student in Astrodynamics focusing on formation flying and I have had a grad. level course on LQR/LQE, following that it is an excellent reference text if you need to look something up.
Book Description
Geared toward advanced undergraduates and graduate engineering students, this text introduces the theory and applications of optimal control. It serves as a bridge to the technical literature, enabling students to evaluate the implications of theoretical control work, and to judge the merits of papers on the subject. 1963 edition.
Book Description
In this book the longitudinal behavior of road vehicles is analyzed. The main emphasis is on the analysis and minimization of the fuel and energy consumption. Most approaches to this problem enhance the complexity of the vehicle system by adding components such as electrical motors or storage devices. Such a complex system can only be designed by means of mathematical models. This text gives an introduction to the modeling and optimization problems typically encountered when designing new propulsion systems for passenger cars. It is intended for persons interested in the analysis and optimization of classical and novel vehicle propulsion systems. Its focus lies on the control-oriented mathematical description of the physical processes and on the model-based optimization of the system structure and of the supervisory control algorithms. This text has evolved from a lecture series at ETH Zurich. Prerequisites are general engineering topics and a first course in optimal control theory.
