Control (optimal control theory)

ID: control-optimal-control-theory

Control, in the context of optimal control theory, refers to the process of determining the control inputs for a dynamic system to achieve a desired performance. Optimal control theory seeks to find the control strategies that minimize (or maximize) a certain objective, often described by a cost or utility function, over a given time horizon. Key elements of optimal control theory include: 1. **Dynamic System**: A model that describes how the state of a system evolves over time, usually defined by differential or difference equations.
