Description

Geometric Control Theory explores the mathematical foundations of systems subject to physical laws with controllable degrees of freedom. This Cambridge University Press volume addresses the core challenge of steering dynamic systems from any initial state to a desired destination, then progresses to optimal control theory - determining the most efficient paths and strategies. The text demonstrates deep connections between control theory and mathematical physics, particularly through the Maximum Principle, a cornerstone result in the field. Essential reading for mathematicians, engineers and physicists seeking rigorous treatment of how systems evolve over time and how their trajectories can be influenced and optimised.

Key Features

Part one covers controllability and steering: the theory of directing system evolution from arbitrary starting points to specified targets.

Part two explores optimal control problems: finding the best possible courses of action subject to physical constraints.

The book connects geometric control theory to mathematical physics through the Maximum Principle and its applications.

Cambridge Studies in Advanced Mathematics Series Number 52 provides graduate-level treatment suitable for specialists in mathematics and engineering.

Addresses the irreversible nature of time-evolving events, grounding theory in real physical systems and practical control challenges.
