Applied Optimal Control: Optimization, Estimation and Control

The binding in the paperback option is not well done. I was able to improve it by adding some weight on the book for a week.

This book was recommended to me as a source of problems for optimal control exams. I did not find the text that helpful for the course I am taking.

It a little hard to understand at the begging but it is a very powerful book, I really recommend for dynamic control

good book

good

One of the early books on Optimal Control and Optimal Estimation Theory and still very relevant, and perhaps still the most respected graduate-level text there is. Tremendous depth of coverage, and includes a nice selection of aerospace problems very useful for bench-marking your own software implementation against, especially if you are a researcher involved in the field of computational optimal control.However, here is the caveat: the text is *not* an easy read, and could be off-putting for beginners. This text was chosen by my graduate instructor during my MS, and it was terribly frustrating to learn from. Fortunately, I ended up consulting Stengel's Optimal Control and Estimation, and Kirk's Optimal Control Theory, both very accessible. Computational Optimal Control eventually ended up being my dissertation topic, and once I started exploring Optimal Control Theory in greater depth did I realize what a fantastic piece of work this text is!However, I do reiterate that students would do well to use this only as a reference, and not the main text when getting introduced to Optimal Control for the first time.

Would you please help me cancel this order because I bought this item twice by mistake and this item is a digital order.Best Regards,Rui

This book is clearly written by an expert for an expert. It may be a good reference for those familiar with the material who simply need a reference. For students interested in learning the material it is presented at a very high level which is difficult to follow.

Ottimo libro ed ottima e puntuale la consegna.Consiglio questo libro a chi opera nel settore dell'automazione o a chi sta studiando le tematiche trattate al suo interno.Ottimo anche per il suo carattere applicativo, il quale permette di capire a fondo le tematiche e gli esempi affrontati.
