Applied Dynamics Programming for Optimization of Dynamical Systems (Advances in Design and Control, Series Number 9) by Rush D. Robinett III (PDF)

Description

Based on the results of over 10 years of research and development by the authors, this book presents a broad cross section of dynamic programming (DP) techniques applied to the optimization of dynamical systems. The intention of the research effort was to develop a robust path planning/trajectory optimization tool that did not require an initial guess, partially met with a combination of DP and homotopy algorithms. DP algorithms are presented here with a theoretical development, and their successful application to a variety of practical engineering problems is emphasized. The organization of the book enables the reader to use DP algorithms before thoroughly comprehending the full theoretical development. Moreover, the applications of DP algorithms are easily adapted to the reader’s own interests and problems. Illustrative examples that surround linear systems applications gradually introduce DP algorithm development, while design steps applied to case studies illustrate the ideas and principles behind DP algorithms.

Editorial Reviews: Review ‘The book is a welcome addition to the dynamical systems field. The marriage of optimization broadly and dynamic programming in particular to a family of problems in robotics and spacecraft maneuvers is beautifully executed. There is good balance between development of methodology and presentation of illustrative applications. The detailed appendices will be most appreciated by serious students who wish to understand these results and carry them further. In summary, I like this book and warmly recommend it.’ John L. Junkins, Distinguished Professor of Aerospace Engineering, Director, Center for Mechanics and Control, Texas A&M University Book Description This book presents a range of dynamic programming (DP) techniques applied to the optimization of dynamical systems.

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐I bought this book to help me understand some to the basic and advanced concepts of dynamic programming because I need to apply this topic to my PhD research. I found this book to be almost useless. The explanations of the concepts are difficult to follow. There is too much mathematical nomenclature and not enough clear exposition of the concepts. The examples are not good and don’t clearly illustrate the concepts that the author is trying to present. Too often there are jumps and gaps in the examples that just simply don’t make sense, no matter how hard you try to follow them. I cannot recommend this book based on my experience with it.
