Optimal Control with Aerospace Applications

From the book reviews:

“The book provides an accessible and comprehensive exposition and introduction to methods of optimal control and their use in aerospace applications. It is oriented towards those who are beginning their study of optimal control, those who are interested in exploiting optimal control theory to treat specific problems arising in applications, in general, and to practitioners in the area of aerospace engineering, in particular.” (Ilya Kolmanovsky, Mathematical Reviews, November, 2014)

“This textbook addresses applications of the calculus of variations to aerospace problems. … This text should be useful to graduate students in aerospace engineering. The book is equipped with several Matlab codes in the appendices.” (Alexander Mikhailovich Kovalev, zbMATH, Vol. 1297, 2014)
