Multilevel Control

Abstract
The optimal control of complex multivariable systems poses a great many problems for the control engineer. Among the most difficult of these is the computational problem. An attempt is made here to lay foundations for a control theory based on a plan of attack utilized by human organizations for centuries; namely, notions of division of labor and co-ordination. The usefulness of these concepts is examined via a number of mathematical models.
