Description
Book SynopsisOptimization and Differentiation is an introduction to the application of optimization control theory to systems described by nonlinear partial differential equations. As well as offering a useful reference work for researchers in these fields, it is also suitable for graduate students of optimal control theory.
Trade Review"The book under review provides an inspired presentation of the tools offered by mathematical analysis and its derivatives" such as variational calculus and optimal control theory in solving extremal problems [...] This clearly written book will be useful for researches as well as students willing to enter in the field."

"This book provides an inspired presentation of tools offered by mathematical analysis and used in variational calculus of variations and optimal control theory, for solving extremal problems. This clearly written book will be useful for researchers as well as students interested in entering the field.
The main topics considered in the monograph are as follows: Part I: Minimization of Functionals: necessary conditions of extremum for functionals; Part II: Stationary Systems: linear stationary systems, weakly nonlinear stationary systems, strongly non-linear stationary systems, stationary systems with the coefficient control, stationary systems with nonlinear control; Part III: Evolutional Systems: first-order linear evo-lutional systems, first-order nonlinear evolutional systems, second-order evolutional systems, Navier-Stokes equations; Part IV: Addition: functors of the differentiation.
In the last part, the author interprets differentiation by using category theory and in particular proposes a concept of extended derivation of an operator. By means of this notion, necessary conditions of optimality are obtained."
