EEC 644/744, ESC 794: Optimal Control Systems
Fall 2009, 4 credit hours
Catalog Description: Optimal Control Systems (4-0-4)
Prerequisite: EEC 510. Introduction to the principles and methods of the optimal control approach: performance measures; dynamic programming; calculus of variations; Pontryagin’s principle; optimal linear regulators; minimum-time and minimum-fuel problems; steepest descent; and quasi-linearization methods for determining optimal trajectories.
Course Content: This course will explore mathematical strategies for controlling dynamic state-space systems (both linear and nonlinear) in both noise-free and noisy environments. The methods taught in this course are applicable to many disciplines, including engineering, science, and economics. MATLAB assignments will be used to reinforce the techniques taught in this course.

Doctoral Students are required to write a review of a journal paper and present their results to the class.
Homework: In addition to written exercises, MATLAB problems will be assigned to illustrate the theory. Students can work with others on homework, but identical homework assignments will be given a grade of zero. Late homework will not be accepted. Homework assignments should be in order, neat, and stapled once in the upper left corner. Homework assignments are at http://academic.csuohio.edu/simond/courses/eec644/homework.html.
Tests: Exams are open-book and open-notes. No electronic devices are allowed during tests. No makeup exams are allowed without the prior permission of the instructor.
