Control of Functional Differential Equations to Target Sets in Function Space,

Abstract

Optimal control of systems governed by functional differential equations of retarded and neutral type is considered. Problems with function space initial and terminal manifolds are investigated. Existence of optimal controls, regularity, and bang-bang properties are discussed. Necessary and sufficient conditions are derived and several solved examples which illustrate the theory are presented. (Author)
