Abstract

This chapter provides optimal control theory for readers. In this chapter, optimal control conception and variation method were respectively narrated and explained to help readers understand optimal control problems. Furthermore, maximum principle and linear quadratic optimal control and dynamic programming were also narrated and analyzed to aid readers in correctly applying optimal control into practice. In this chapter, readers need to grasp three basic methods: variation method, minimum principle and dynamic programming.
