Overview
\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200bIn this book\xa0the authors take\xa0a rigorous look at the infinite-horizon discrete-time optimal\xa0control theory from the viewpoint of Pontryagin's principles. Several Pontryagin principles \xa0are described which govern systems and various criteria which define the notions of optimality, along with a detailed analysis of how each Pontryagin principle relate to each other. The Pontryagin principle is examined in a stochastic setting and results are given which generalize Pontryagin's principles to multi-criteria problems.\xa0\u200bInfinite-Horizon Optimal Control in the Discrete-Time Framework\xa0\xa0is aimed toward researchers and PhD students in various scientific fields such as mathematics, applied mathematics, economics, management, sustainable development (such as, of fisheries and of forests), and \xa0Bio-medical sciences who are drawn to infinite-horizon discrete-time optimal control problems.
