Abstract

It is the purpose of this chapter (1) to formulate the problem of optimal short-term operation of hydrothermal-nuclear systems, (2) to obtain the solution by using a functional analytic optimization technique that employs the minimum norm formulation, and (3) to propose an algorithm suitable for implementing the optimal solution.
