Computational Optimal Control: Tools and Practice provides adetailed guide to informed use of computational optimal control inadvanced engineering practice, addressing the need for a betterunderstanding of the practical application of optimal control usingcomputational techniques.
Throughout the text the authors employ an advanced aeronauticalcase study to provide a practical, real-life setting for optimalcontrol theory. This case study focuses on an advanced, real-worldproblem known as the "terminal bunt manoeuvre" orspecial trajectory shaping of a cruise missile. Representing themany problems involved in flight dynamics, practical control andflight path constraints, this case study offers an excellentillustration of advanced engineering practice using optimalsolutions. The book describes in practical detail the real andtested optimal control software, examining the advantages andlimitations of the technology.
Featuring tutorial insights into computational optimalformulations and an advanced case-study approach to the topic,Computational Optimal Control: Tools and Practice providesan essential handbook for practising engineers and academicsinterested in practical optimal solutions in engineering.
