Abstract:

In this paper, we present a capable algorithm for solving a class of nonlinear optimal control problems (OCP's). The approach rest mainly on the differential transform method (DTM) which is one of the approximate methods. The DTM is a powerful and efficient technique for finding solutions of nonlinear equations without the need of a linearization process. Utilizing this approach, the optimal control and the corresponding trajectory of the OCP's are found in the form of rapidly convergent series with easily computed components. Numerical results are also given for several test examples to demonstrate the applicability and the efficiency of the method.

A Method for Solving Optimal Control Problems Using Genetic Programming

This paper deals with a novel method for solving optimal control problems based on genetic programming. This approach produces some trial solutions and seeks the best of them. If the solution cannot be expressed in a closed analytical form then our method produces an approximation with a controlled level of accuracy. Using numerical examples, we will demonstrate how to use the results.

A monotonic method for solving nonlinear optimal control problems

Initially introduced in the framework of quantum control, the so-called monotonic algorithms have demonstrated excellent numerical results when dealing with various bilinear optimal control problems. This paper presents a unified formulation that can be applied to more nonlinear settings. In this framework, we show that the well-posedness of the general algorithm is related to a nonlinear evolu...
