- Dynamic Programming, principle of optimality,
Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman-equation
- Variational calculus
- Pontryagin Maximum Principle
- Numerical algorithms for the solution of optimal control problems
- Infinite and finite horizon optimal control
- LQ optimal control
- Application examples from various fields such as mechanical
engineering, robotics and aeronautics
