[edit] PMP in 2-d
Is there any information anywhere about the Pontryagin maximum principle with two independent variables, e.g. when the problem to be solved is the maximisation of a double integral? Can the PMP be easily extended to two dimensions?

Sure. Most books on optimal control theory will cover multivariable problems. My favorite is Stengel's 'Optimal control and estimation' —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.49.67.32 (talk) 20:36, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Redirect needed
The PMP is also known as Pontryagin's Maximum Principle. I think we need one article named after that and re-direct it to here. --anon
- Done, Pontryagin's maximum principle. Note that here we don't use capitals in the middle of sentence. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 18:51, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Merge Hamiltonian (control theory) and Pontryagin's minimum principle
Please discuss it here - Nmnogueira 16:10, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
This principle is sufficiently distinct that it should be separated from Hamiltonian (Control Theory). Moreover, when it comes to optimal control theory, we give the credit only to Hamiltonian (after his name) and this way contribution of the mathematician Pontryagin is overlooked. So, I strongly recommend Pontryagin's principles to be redirected on a separate page.
