Abstract
Several problems, for example Pontryagin’s maximum principle or the minimax problems of game theoretical approaches, require the determination of an extremum of a given function. These are typical optimization problems. Most of the instructive problems which have been presented in the previous chapters were relatively simple. Since only few degrees of freedom are considered, these problems were solvable by empirical concepts or by standard analytical methods.
