Numerical Studies of a Two-Point Nonlinear Boundary Value Problem Using Dynamic Programming, Invariant Imbedding, and Quasilinearization
ResearchPublished 1964
ResearchPublished 1964
The theories of quasilinearization, dynamic programming and invariant imbedding are applied to the numerical solution of a single variational problem. Their advantages and disadvantages are discussed, and FORTRAN programs and numerical results are included.
