The problem of obtaining a control policy which is optimum in some
respect for a specified system is one of the more pressing problems of
automatic control theory today. L. S. Pontryagin stated his Maximum
Principle in 1956 and L. I. Rozonoer discussed and extended the work in
a series of articles published in 1959. The Maximum Principle, as it applies to the "free right end" problem
for a non-linear, one-dimensional system, is utilized in conjunction with
the CDC 1604 digital computer to obtain optimal control policies for
several different cost functions. The authors wish to express their appreciation for the encouragement
given them by Dr. Harold A. Titus of the U. S. Naval Postgraduate
School and to express their gratitude to Miss Mary E. Haynes of the
Computer Facility, U. S. Naval Postgraduate School whose patient programming
assistance materially aided in the successful completion of this
thesis.
