Abstract
Aspects of the approximation and optimal control of systems governed by linear retarded nonautonomous functional differential equations (FDE) are considered. First, certain FDE are shown to be equivalent to corresponding abstract ordinary differential equations (ODE). Next, it is demonstrated that these abstract ODE may be approximated by difference equations in finite dimensional spaces. The optimal control problem for systems governed by FDE is then reduced to a sequence of mathematical programming problems. Finally, numerical results for two examples are presented and discussed.
