Zermelo's navigation problem
text:
In mathematical optimization, Zermelo's navigation problem, proposed in 1931 by Ernst Zermelo, is a classic optimal control problem that deals with a boat navigating on a body of water, originating from a point A to a destination point B . The boat is capable of a certain maximum speed, and the goal is to derive the best possible control to reach B in the least possible time. Without considering external forces such as current and wind, the optimal control is for the boat to always head towards
