Optimization of state-linear discrete-continuous systems

An iterative method for process optimization in the state‐linear discrete‐continuous systems was proposed on the basis of the sufficiency conditions and the minimax scheme of nonlocal improvement. For the discrete systems, in particular, it was reduced to an essentially new method. Consideration was given to the possibility of applying it to the general nonlinear systems through approximation by systems of the class under consideration. Examples were presented.
