Optimal control and geometry : integrable systems / Velimir Jurdjevic, University of Toronto.

The synthesis of symplectic geometry, the calculus of variations and control theory offered in this book provides a crucial foundation for the understanding of many problems in applied mathematics. Focusing on the theory of integrable systems, this book introduces a class of optimal control problems...
