Local minima of quadratic functionals and control of hydro-electric power stations

We consider a control problem for a cascade of hydro-electric power stations, where some of the stations have reversible turbines. Our aim was to optimize the profit of power production satisfying restrictions on the water level in the reservoirs. From the mathematical point of view, this consists i...
