Abstract
This essay was developed from an essay submitted by R. Schane to the Graduate School of Marquette University. The original problem involved finding a control for an ocean going vessel which would minimize fuel consumption when traveling from point A to B. It was concluded in the above that an optimal control was achieved when the ship's speed was constant throughout the trip. The problem has now been complicated by extending the problem from one dimension to two dimensions. In the process of doing this the number or nonlinear terms has been extended to three. In addition a cross wind is assumed to be acting on. the ship.
The problem involves a three d1mens1on state equation and a two dimension control vector U.
