If a linear cost of the final state is considered this result has the important consequence that any Pontryagin solution of the associated optimal control problem is optimal and can be numerically computed by using standard gradient-type algorithms. A few extension are given next and an example is provided to illustrate the theory.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:57:50 AEDT ]]> Optimal control of a class of positive Markovian bilinear systems https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:24973 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:09:57 AEDT ]]>
