چکیده

A Radau pseudospectral method is derived for solving state-inequality path constrained optimal control problems. The continuous-time state-inequality path constrained optimal control problem is modified by applying a set of tangency conditions at the entrance of the activity of the path constraint. It is shown that the first-order optimality condition of the nonlinear programming problem associated with the Radau pseudospectral method is equivalent to the Radau pseudospectral discretized first-order optimality conditions of the modified continuous-time optimal control problem. The method is applied to a classical state-inequality path constrained optimal control problem and it is found that the solution accuracy is improved significantly when compared with the accuracy of the solution obtained using the original Radau pseudospectral discretization.

Direct trajectory optimization and costate estimation of finite-horizon and infinite-horizon optimal control problems using a Radau pseudospectral method

A method is presented for direct trajectory optimization and costate estimation of finite-horizon and infinite-horizon optimal control problems using global collocation at Legendre-Gauss-Radau (LGR) points. A key feature of the method is that it provides an accurate way to map the KKT multipliers of the nonlinear programming problem to the costates of the optimal control problem. More precisely...

Pseudospectral 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...
