POLYNOMIAL SOLUTIONS IN PROBLEMS OF CONTROLLING THE HEATING OF SOLIDS
I. B. Sorogovets , E. I. Goncharov , and V. B. Artem'ev UDC 518:519,3:62-50 We consider an approximate method of solving the problem of optimum control of the process that is described by a homogeneous heat-conduction equation. The governing parameter enters the boundary condition, while the integral quadratic expression is subjected to minimization. A solution of the problem is found for a class of controls described by a polynomial of finite degree. An example is considered. JEPTER7492020003 JEPTER749203
