    The goal The objective of the course is to demonstrate the basic methods of optimal system control. A significant part of the course will be dedicated to the techniques for designing the optimization criterion, the areas of application of such optimization techniques, and the awareness of the importance of optimality as an omnipresent code of conduct in the biological and social environment.
    The outcome Ability to formulate criteria for the optimal behavior of the control system without constraints, as well as in the presence of linear and nonlinear constraints, followed by the selection and design of appropriate optimal control strategies for a wide class of continuous and discrete systems, in accordance with their representation and the desired performances.
