Optimal Syntheses for Control Systems on 2-D Manifolds (Mathématiques et Applications)

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, introduces geometric methods in control theory, and analyzes single input systems on 2-D manifolds including classifications of optimal syntheses and feedbacks, their singularities, extremals projection and minimum time singularities. Various extensions and applications are also illustrated.
