...A. Bazezew; J.C. Bruch; J.M. Sloss Distributed control is an effective method for controlling and suppressing excessive vibrations of continuous systems. Optimal distributed control for a plate problem is solved utilizing a maximum principle after the introduction of a quadratic index...

...A. Bazezew; J.C. Bruch, Jr; J.M. Sloss Presents numerical algorithms which easily solve both optimal distributed and optimal boundary control problems in a space‐time domain. Analyses two simple cases of continuous systems. These are the vibrating string and the axially vibrating rod. Using finite...
