Convergence of a Gauss Pseudospectral Method for Optimal Control
A convergence theory is presented for approximations of continuous-time optimal control problems based on a Gauss pseudospectral discretization. Under assumptions of coercivity and smoothness, the Gauss pseudospectral method has a local minimizer that converges exponentially fast in the sup-norm to a local minimizer of the continuous-time optimal control problem. The convergence theorem is pres...
متن کاملPseudospectral Methods for Infinite-Horizon Optimal Control Problems
Acentral computational issue in solving infinite-horizonnonlinear optimal control problems is the treatment of the horizon. In this paper, we directly address this issue by a domain transformation technique that maps the infinite horizon to a finite horizon. The transformed finite horizon serves as the computational domain for an application of pseudospectral methods. Although any pseudospectra...
متن کاملGauss Pseudospectral Method for Solving Infinite-Horizon Optimal Control Problems
The previously developed Gauss pseudospectral method is extended to the case of nonlinear infinite-horizon optimal control problems. First, the semi-infinite domain t ∈ [0,+∞) is transformed to the domain τ = [−1,+1). The first-order optimality conditions of NLP obtained from the pseudospectral discretization are then presented. These optimality conditions are related to the KKT multipliers of ...
متن کاملOptimal Configuration of Tetrahedral Spacecraft Formations
The problem of determining minimum-fuel maneuver sequences for a four-spacecraft formation is considered. The objective of this paper is to find fuel-optimal spacecraft trajectories that transfer four spacecraft from an initial parking orbit to a desired terminal reference orbit while satisfying a set of constraints on the formation at the terminal time. Trajectories involving both one and two ...
متن کاملA Comparison of Accuracy and Computational Efficiency of Three Pseudospectral Methods
A comparison is made between three pseudospectral methods used to numerically solve optimal control problems. In particular, the accuracy of the state, control, and costate obtained using the Legendre, Radau, and Gauss pseudospectral methods is compared. Three examples with different degrees of complexity are used to identify key differences between the three methods. The results of this study ...
