商品描述

This book introduces optimal control problems for large families of deterministic and stochastic systems with discrete or continuous time parameter. These families include most of the systems studied in many disciplines, including Economics, Engineering, Operations Research, and Management Science, among many others.

The main objective is to give a concise, systematic, and reasonably self contained presentation of some key topics in optimal control theory. To this end, most of the analyses are based on the dynamic programming (DP) technique. This technique is applicable to almost all control problems that appear in theory and applications. They include, for instance, finite and infinite horizon control problems in which the underlying dynamic system follows either a deterministic or stochastic difference or differential equation. In the infinite horizon case, it also uses DP to study undiscounted problems, such as the ergodic or long-run average cost.

After a general introduction to control problems, the book covers the topic dividing into four parts with different dynamical systems: control of discrete-time deterministic systems, discrete-time stochastic systems, ordinary differential equations, and finally a general continuous-time MCP with applications for stochastic differential equations.

The first and second part should be accessible to undergraduate students with some knowledge of elementary calculus, linear algebra, and some concepts from probability theory (random variables, expectations, and so forth). Whereas the third and fourth part would be appropriate for advanced undergraduates or graduate students who have a working knowledge of mathematical analysis (derivatives, integrals, ...) and stochastic processes.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書介紹了針對大型確定性和隨機系統的最佳控制問題,這些系統具有離散或連續時間參數。這些系統涵蓋了許多學科中研究的大多數系統,包括經濟學、工程學、運籌學和管理科學等。

主要目的是提供一個簡明、系統且相對自足的最佳控制理論關鍵主題的介紹。為此,大多數分析基於動態規劃(Dynamic Programming, DP)技術。這種技術幾乎適用於所有理論和應用中的控制問題。例如,它包括有限和無限時間範圍的控制問題,其中基礎動態系統遵循確定性或隨機的差分或微分方程。在無限時間範圍的情況下,它還使用DP來研究不折現的問題,例如遍歷性或長期平均成本。

在對控制問題進行一般介紹後,本書將主題分為四個部分,涵蓋不同的動態系統:離散時間確定性系統的控制、離散時間隨機系統、常微分方程,最後是針對隨機微分方程的通用連續時間MCP及其應用。

第一部分和第二部分應該對具備一些基礎微積分、線性代數和概率論(隨機變數、期望值等)知識的本科生是可接觸的。而第三部分和第四部分則適合具備數學分析(導數、積分等)和隨機過程工作知識的高年級本科生或研究生。
