Abstract
In this paper, we interpret the optimal tracking problem as a scattering model with internal sources and expose the benefits of such an identification. The state and adjoint vectors have a natural interpretation as the propagating quantities in a medium with internal sources. This physical picture is used to provide an easy derivation of existing formulae in optimal control theory.
