Abstract
A recent paper obtains an optimal policy for transient control of a gas pipeline and a real-time suboptimal control is suggested. This correspondence shows that 1) the suggested sub-optimal control gives very poor performance and 2) the optimal policy provides clues that lead to conventional control that gives good performance.
