Abstract

Chapter 26 discussed Lagrange multiplier methods of converting constrained optimization problems to unconstrained problems, with the particular application being control system problems in which the state is to traverse an optimum path subject to the constraint that the equations of motion (usually the laws of physics) are not to be violated. There are other methods, and we look briefly at some of them in this section.
