Discrete-continuous models and optimization of control processes

The article is devoted to the investigation of hybrid control systems on the base of discrete-continuous process concept developed in preceding works as a concretization of the general model of multi-step processes with related optimality conditions. There are obtained algorithms of approximate optimization which can be applied to a broad class of heterogeneous processes, in particular, to the impulse ones whereas the conventional optimization methods for homogenous processes are not applicable. Illustrative examples are given.
