This book is devoted to optimal syntheses in control theory and focuses on minimum time on 2-D manifolds. The text outlines examples of applicability, introduce

This book gives a comprehensive treatment of the fundamental necessary and sufficient conditions for optimality for finite-dimensional, deterministic, optimal c

Optimal control is a branch of applied mathematics that engineers need in order to optimize the operation of systems and production processes. Its application t

Honoring Andrei Agrachev's 60th birthday, this volume presents recent advances in the interaction between Geometric Control Theory and sub-Riemannian geometry.

This book gathers together a selection of papers presented at the Joint CTS-HYCON Workshop on Nonlinear and Hybrid Control held at the Paris Sorbonne, France, 1
