Please describe the book in straightforward and consumer-friendly terms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e[Mathematical optimization is the selection of the best element in a set with respect to a given criterion. Optimization has become one of the most-used tools in modern control theory for computing the control law, adjusting the controller parameters (tuning), model fitting, and finding suitable conditions in order to fulfill a given closed-loop property, among others. In the simplest case, optimization consists of maximizing or minimizing a function by systematically choosing input values from a valid input set and computing the function value. Nevertheless, real-world control systems need to comply with several conditions and constraints that have to be taken into account in the problem formulation--these represent challenges in the application of the optimization algorithms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe aim of this Special Issue is to offer the state-of-the-art of the most advanced optimization techniques (online and offline) and their applications in control engineering.]\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mdpi AG\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/14\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783038974475\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.22lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 0.70d","brand":"Guillermo Valencia-Palomo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52284240003253,"sku":"9783038974475","price":61.63,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_fb8cc2bc-ffda-4631-958a-de7ad7f83ad0.jpg?v=1771990318","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/optimization-in-control-applications-9783038974475","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
