Discovery of the Maximum Principle in Optimal Control

چکیده
Discovery of the Maximum Principle for the needs of optimal control and its subsequent development give a classical example of a theory, which initially emerged as an effective device for solving a purely engineering problem not amenable by existing methods, and eventually developed into a mathematical theory of major significance. I present a short history of the discovery of the Maximum Principle in Optimal Control by L. S. Pontryagin and his associates.

Three-axis optimal control of satellite attitude based on Ponteryagin maximum principle
A long time ago, since the launch of the first artificial satellite in 1957, controling attitude of satellites has been considered by the designers and engineers of aerospace industry. Considering the importance of this issue various methods of control in response to this need have been presented and analyzed until now. In this paper, we propose and analyze a three-axis optimal control on the s...
متن کاملDynamic Load Carrying Capacity of Flexible Manipulators Using Finite Element Method and Pontryagin’s Minimum Principle
In this paper, finding Dynamic Load Carrying Capacity (DLCC) of flexible link manipulators in point to-point motion was formulated as an optimal control problem. The finite element method was employed for modelling and deriving the dynamic equations of the system. The study employed indirect solution of optimal control for system motion planning. Due to offline nature of the method, many diffic...
