Abstract
We illustrate the complete analytical solution to an optimal design problem of transistor devices characterized by state and control constraints and nonconvex Hamiltonian. We ascertain its optimality through a field theorem. This shows the usefulness of optimal control in the area of bandgap engineering for semiconductors
