Introduction; Part I. Analytic Semigroups: 1. The optimal quadratic cost problem over a preassigned finite time interval: the differential Riccati equation; 2. The optimal quadratic cost problem over a preassigned finite time interval: the algebraic Riccati equation; 3. Illustrations of the abstract theory of chapters 1 and 2 to PDEs with boundary/point controls; 4. Numerical approximations of algebraic Riccati equations; 5. Illustrations of the numerical theory of chapter 4 to parabolic-like boundary/point control PDE problems; 6. Min-max game theory over an infinite time interval and algebraic Riccati equations.
