RESEARCH IN 'OPTIMIZATION THEORY AND AEROSPACE APPLICATIONS.'
Abstract
The report summarizes the research performed in 'Optimization Theory and Aerospace Applications.' There were six basic areas studied: (1) Trajectory Optimization Techniques; (2) Stochastic Optimum Control Problems; (3) Theory of Distributions; (4) Synthesis of Optimum Distributed Networks; (5) Synthesis of Optimum Antenna Structures; and (6) Synthesis of Closed-Loop (Feedback) Optimal Control Systems. All these areas except Area 3 are directly related to the discipline of optimization. Area 3 had begun as a collateral effort and was pursued under agreement with AFOSR as part of the research to be performed under the present contract. Eact area is discussed briefly in this report; detailed analysis will be presented in papers published under this contract. Appendices A and B include a more detailed analysis of the work performed in Areas 5 and 6. (Author)
