Impulsive Control in Continuous and Discrete-Continuous Systems

by Boris M. Miller, Evgeny Y. Rubinovich

Overview

Offering an introduction to the theory of impulse control in nonlinear systems, this book is useful as a text for a senior or graduate course. Chapters cover discrete-continuous systems with impulse control, optimal impulse control problems with restricted number of impulses, generalized solutions, and observation control problems in discrete-continuous stochastic systems. Some background in optimal control and functional analysis is helpful. The authors teach control sciences at the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, Russia.
