Download or read book Geometric and Numerical Optimal Control written by Bernard Bonnard and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-07-27 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book introduces readers to techniques of geometric optimal control as well as the exposure and applicability of adapted numerical schemes. It is based on two real-world applications, which have been the subject of two current academic research programs and motivated by industrial use – the design of micro-swimmers and the contrast problem in medical resonance imaging. The recently developed numerical software has been applied to the cases studies presented here. The book is intended for use at the graduate and Ph.D. level to introduce students from applied mathematics and control engineering to geometric and computational techniques in optimal control.
