Originally published in 2000, this is the first volume of a comprehensive two-volume treatment of quadratic optimal control theory for partial differential equa

Optimal control theory is concerned with finding control functions that minimize cost functions for systems described by differential equations. The methods hav

Concentrates on systems of hyperbolic and parabolic coupled PDEs that are nonlinear, solve three key problems.

This is a book on optimal control problems (OCPs) for partial differential equations (PDEs) that evolved from a series of courses taught by the authors in the l
