Description

Explore the mathematical foundations of system evolution with Geometric Control Theory, part of the Cambridge Studies in Advanced Mathematics series. This text examines systems governed by physical laws that possess degrees of freedom for motion control. By focusing on the irreversible nature of time-evolving events, the book provides a rigorous mathematical framework for understanding complex system behaviors. Readers will gain insights into two primary areas of study. The first part addresses controllability, specifically the ability to steer a system from any starting point to a desired destination. The second part focuses on optimal control, which explores methods for determining the best possible course of action for a given system. This volume also highlights the connection to mathematical physics through the Maximum principle, making it a valuable resource for those studying advanced engineering and mathematics.

Key Features

Covers the mathematical theory of systems subject to physical laws and controlled motion.

Explores the concept of controllability to move systems from any departure point to a destination.

Provides detailed analysis of optimal control to find the best possible course for a system.

Demonstrates the connection to mathematical physics via the Maximum principle.

Part of the prestigious Cambridge Studies in Advanced Mathematics series (Number 52).
