Reviews

'The author has succeeded in creating a very self-contained book which introduces the reader to both the Pontryagin maximum principle and a wide range of applications.' Short Book Reviews 'a thoroughly readable working text for either postgraduate or undergraduate study ... The important concepts are introduced and illustrated by simple examples and there are many lively exercises, with appended solutions.' Mathematika, 38 (1991) 'The book gives an introductory text for those approaching the topic for the first time and without sophisticated mathematical analysis at their disposal ... the book is clearly written and the subject is well presented. The structure of the book has been carefully selected. The exercises will help in a deeper study of this subject.' Andrzej J. Osiadacz, Warsaw University of Technology, International Journal of Adaptive Control and Signal Processing, Vol. 7 (1993)
