Optimization

One of the basic tenets of science is that deterministic systems are completely predictable-given the initial condition and the equations describing a system, the behavior of the system can be predicted 1 for all time.

The common experience in solving control problems shows that optimal control as a function of time proves to be piecewise analytic, having a finite number of jumps (called switches) on any finite-time interval.

Inverse problems and optimal design have come of age as a consequence of the availability of better, more accurate, and more efficient simulation packages.

This IMA Volume in Mathematics and its Applications LARGE-SCALE OPTIMIZATION WITH APPLICATIONS, PART II: OPTIMAL DESIGN AND CONTROL is one of the three volumes based on the proceedings of the 1995 IMA three- week Summer Program on "e;Large-Scale Optimization with Applications to Inverse Problems, Optimal Control and Design, and Molecular and Struc- tural Optimization.

A linear optimization problem is the task of minimizing a linear real-valued function of finitely many variables subject to linear con- straints; in general there may be infinitely many constraints.

Although the calculus of variations has ancient origins in questions of Ar- istotle and Zenodoros, its mathematical principles first emerged in the post- calculus investigations of Newton, the Bernoullis, Euler, and Lagrange.

Many important molecular conformation problems, such as protein folding, are expressed as global minimization problems.

This book is the result of our teaching over the years an undergraduate course on Linear Optimal Systems to applied mathematicians and a first-year graduate course on Linear Systems to engineers.

This book collects some recent works on the application of dynamic game and control theory to the analysis of environmental problems.

A theory is the more impressive, the simpler are its premises, the more distinct are the things it connects, and the broader is its range of applicability.
