Sommario/riassunto

Sleep and Sleep medicine are hot topics in medicine as well as neuroscience and cognitive neuroscience. How the auditory system functions during sleep, and what impact that has on the brain, is still not well understood. This book shows a different viewpoint on sleep, integrating a sensory system in the whole brain and focusing on physiological conditions. Moreover, it exhibits the coordination among evoked potentials, fMRI, PET, SPECT, lesions, etc., together with electrophysiological online data.*  Presents diverse experimental viewpoints from the beginning of classical electroenceph

Sommario/riassunto

This textbook offers a concise yet rigorous introduction to calculus of variations and optimal control theory, and is a self-contained resource for graduate students in engineering, applied mathematics, and related subjects. Designed specifically for a one-semester course, the book begins with calculus of variations, preparing the ground for optimal control. It then gives a complete proof of the maximum principle and covers key topics such as the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman theory of dynamic programming and linear-quadratic optimal control. Calculus



of Variations and Optimal Control Theory also traces the historical development of the subject and features numerous exercises, notes and references at the end of each chapter, and suggestions for further study. Offers a concise yet rigorous introduction Requires limited background in control theory or advanced mathematics Provides a complete proof of the maximum principle Uses consistent notation in the exposition of classical and modern topics Traces the historical development of the subject Solutions manual (available only to teachers) Leading universities that have adopted this book include: University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign ECE 553: Optimum Control Systems Georgia Institute of Technology ECE 6553: Optimal Control and Optimization University of Pennsylvania ESE 680: Optimal Control Theory University of Notre Dame EE 60565: Optimal Control
