Title: Nonsmooth Analysis and Geometric Methods in Deterministic Optimal Control
Description: This volume brings together internationally recognized authorities in both geometric and nonsmooth analysis methods in optimal control and its applications. The topics covered include geometric and nonsmooth analysis techniques in various problems of optimal control, and stabilization for nonlinear dynamical systems governed by ordinary and partial differential equations and differential inclusions. The powerful mathematical techniques that have been developed in deterministic optimal control theory make it possible to derive more detailed information about the structure of solutions then could have been obtained in the past. This volume addresses this topic as well as supports new algorithmic approaches to the calculation of solutions. This volume is suitable for mathematicians and students.
