Chen et al. (2018), 'Neural Ordinary Differential Equations,' cite Pontryagin by name for the adjoint sensitivity method and equate it with reverse-mode automatic differentiation / backpropagation

The vault's exemplar blind mathematician, Pontryagin, is an unacknowledged root of backpropagation's optimal-control ancestry

Did Bryson & Ho's Applied Optimal Control (1969) serve as a curriculum transmission vector for adjoint/gradient methods, and what does the argmin blog cite it as evidence of?

What duality argument does the Argmin "Mates of Costate" post make connecting adjoint variables/co-state equations to Bryson (1961) and Kalman (1960), and does it support a backprop lineage through optimal control?

Applied Optimal Control (1969) was compiled from six years of Harvard, MIT, and AIAA courses — the adjoint method's curriculum vector, by Bryson's own account

Recht's "Mates of Costate" argues mathematical equivalence (Lagrangian duality), not historical transmission — and never mentions Kelley

Did Kelley (1960) derive the optimal-control gradient via adjoint equations and Green's theorem?
