The monograph deals with an algorithmic realization of new methods for improving the control in some classes of optimal control problems. On the basis of selected problems the authors pay special attention to the analysis of computing experiments. The monograph contains an introduction, four chapters (each with a number of points) and a list of references. The chapter headings are as follows: (1) Computer experiments in theoretical and practical problems; (2) Constructing parametrical methods and comparing the methods and their modifications; (3) Numerical methods constructed on the basis of transformations of optimal control problems; (4) Methods for solving the optimal control problems with phase and intermediate constraints and computing experiments. The book lists a lot of practical examples with a very good analysis. I think that this well organized and written monograph will be of interest for a wide range of specialists in computing mathematics, control theory and systems analysis.
