The author introduces some basic dynamic programming techniques, using examples, with the help of the computer algebra system Maple. The emphasis is on building confidence and intuition for the ...

The Dynamic Programming and Optimal Control class focuses on optimal path planning and solving optimal control problems for dynamic systems. It stands out for several reasons: It is multidisciplinary, ...

This article presents a dynamic programming algorithm for scheduling, on a single machine, production of multiple items with time-varying deterministic demands. We formulate the scheduling problem ...
