On computational methods for dynamic and static optimization

Published: 16 November 1971 Publication History

Abstract

In the 1960s the joint impact of fast digital computers and the space age stimulated the ingenuity of a number of researchers in optimization and prompted them to invent new and/or better (faster, more elegant) methods for solving, numerically, optimization problems of different types. Two areas that received much attention were trajectory optimization and parameter optimization. That is, the computational problems of determining optimal trajectories (generally, functions of time) and optimal parameter values by minimizing (maximizing) appropriate performance criteria.
