Abstract
The present chapter contains a general approach to the construction of algorithms for optimum problems, both static and dynamic. The reader will certainly notice a resemblance to the classical Newton method (tangent method), but there is an essential difference: we are looking for constrained extrema of functions or functionals by means of solving unconstrained problems. The functions involved are well-known mathematical objects and they play an important role in dynamic programming [21]. Again we shall pay a lot of attention to significant mechanical analogies.
