This article surveys the usual techniques of nonlinear optimal control such as the Pontryagin
Maximum Principle and the conjugate point theory, and how they can be implemented …

It is well-known that Control Theory was founded by N. Wiener in 1948 ([349]). After that, this
theory was greatly extended to various complicated setting and widely used in sciences and …

It is control that turns scientific knowledge into useful technology: in physics and engineering
it provides a systematic way for driving a dynamical system from a given initial state into a …

Optimal control theory is a powerful mathematical tool, which has known a rapid
development since the 1950s, mainly for engineering applications. More recently, it has …

Variational analysis has been recognized as a fruitful area in mathematics that on the one
hand deals with the study of optimization and equilibrium problems and on the other hand …

This book presents methods to study the controllability and the stabilization of nonlinear
control systems in finite and infinite dimensions. The emphasis is put on specific phenomena …
