CONTENT

The combination of the theoretical course and a practical approach using optimization tools together provide a theoretical background, implementation and practical application of Optimal Control.
The problems deal with the minimization of functions, in which various mathematical concepts are used (Euler-Lagrange equations, Beltrami's identity, Hamiltonian). The Pontryagin's maximum (or minimum) principle is used to find the optimal control strategy.
The student can determine extrema (minima and maxima) for functions of several variables, with and without constraints and can minimize an integral function.
The student is able to specify the objective function (control function) for the control system to be designed in various domains using the Hamiltonian.
The student is able to design a control strategy using modern control techniques based on information from literature.
The student is able to optimize the control system using software tools.

Dimensions of assessment:
- Applying knowledge and understanding (designing control systems)
