Description
Abstract:	The problem of designing an optimum distributed parameter system is considered. The necessary conditions for optimality are derived by applying the calculus of variation. Fundamental concepts pertaining to the solution of optimum distributed parameter systems by finite element methods are devised. It is demonstrated that methods can readily be applied to solve problems involving nonlinear Neumann boundary conditions.
