Iterative Dynamic Programming

Reviews / Votes

"This book provides a working knowledge of IDP with many worked out solutions for a wide range of problems. This is especially useful for graduate students and industrial practitioners because a strong background in mathematical techniques and chemical engineering is not essential for understanding this book. This book can be used in a university as a textbook at the level of seniors or first-year graduate students. Of course, this book is also suitable for academic researchers who need an alternative way to cross-validate their solutions to OCPs with their newly devised methods... It can be concluded that this text is a very good addition to the toolbox for numerical optimal control. It is expected that all engineers, graduate students, researchers who are involved in solving optimal control problems should know IDP - the new powerful OCP solution scheme."
