Abstract
Presents numerical algorithms which easily solve both optimal distribu ted and optimal boundary control problems in a space-time domain. Anal yses two simple cases of continuous systems. These are the vibrating s tring and the axially vibrating rod. Using finite difference recurrenc e schemes, gives numerical results which compare the behaviour of the controlled and uncontrolled systems. Compares the results for special cases in which analytical solutions are obtainable are compared with t he results using the general numerical schemes.
