Abstract

We study the problem of optimally steering a network flow to a desired steady state, such as the Boltzmann distribution with a lower temperature, both in finite time and asymptotically. In the infinite horizon case, the problem is formulated as constrained minimization of the relative entropy rate. In such a case, we find that, if the prior is reversible, so is the solution.
