Description: Control and Optimization presents a systematic account of optimal control theory, with emphasis on its connections with other optimization questions. Also covered are a diversity of applications and worked examples, an examination of good computing methods and how they work, and a study of sensitivity - what happens when the system is perturbed - and includes some new previously unpublished results.

Mathematics students at senior undergraduate or graduate level in particular will find this book useful. A background in linear algebra, a little basic functional analysis and some linear programming is assumed.
