Summary

Using material from many different sources in a systematic and unified way, this self-contained book provides both rigorous mathematical theory and practical numerical insights while developing a framework for determining the convergence rate of discrete approximations to optimal control problems. Elements of the framework include the reference point, the truncation error, and a stability theory for the linearized first-order optimality conditions.

Within this framework, the discretiz…

About The Author

William W. Hager

William W. Hager is a Distinguished Professor of Mathematics at the University of Florida and co-director of the Center for Applied Optimization. He has held positions at the University of South Florida, Carnegie Mellon University, and Penn State University. He is a Fellow of the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics. His research has focused on a convergence analysis for discrete approximations to problems in optimal control, and he has worked on the development of algorithms for solving the large sparse optimization problems that arise from the discretization of optimal control problems. He has also conducted research relating to the charge structure in thunderstorms. His estimator CONDEST for the 1-norm condition number of a matrix can be found in MATLAB.
