  • Abstract
    The transport and matching problem for a low energy particle beam is addressed from a control theoretical viewpoint. We model the particle beam using the KV envelope equations. With this model we formulate the optimal control problem. Dynamic programming is used to solve the this problem. Focusing functions are computed which satisfy the matching conditions and optimize selected design criteria. Examples and their solutions are presented.
