Mesh Refinement in Direct Transcription Methods for Optimal Control
نویسندگان
چکیده
The direct transcription method for solving optimal control problems involves the use of a discrete approximation to the original problem. This paper describes a technique for changing the discretization in order to improve the accuracy of the approximation. An integer programming technique is used to minimize the maximum error during the refinement iterations. The efficiency of the method is illustrated for an application with path inequality constraints. ( 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Density Functions for Mesh Refinement in Numerical Optimal Control
This paper introduces an efficient and simple method for mesh point distribution for solving optimal control problems using direct methods. The method is based on density (or monitor) functions, which have been used extensively for mesh refinement in other areas such as partial differential equations and finite element methods. Subsequently, the problem of mesh refinement is converted to a prob...
متن کاملMesh Refinement Using Density Function for Solving Optimal Control Problems
This paper presents a general mesh refinement method based on a density function for distributing the grid points, which can be used for solving optimal control problems through a direct method. The algorithm captures any discontinuities and smoothness irregularities in the state and control variables with high resolution, thus helping with the convergence of the overall optimization algorithm....
متن کاملAdaptive Finite Element Methods for Optimal Control of Elastic Waves
In this paper a posteriori error estimates for space-time finite element discretizations for optimal control problems governed by the dynamical Lamé system are considered using the dual weighted residual method (DWR). We apply techniques developed in Kröner (2011a), where optimal control problems for second order hyperbolic equations are considered. The provided error estimator separates the in...

The Hermite collocation method of discretization can be used to determine highly accurate solutions to the steady state one-dimensional convection-diffusion equation (which can be used to model the transport of contaminants dissolved in groundwater). This accuracy is dependent upon sufficient refinement of the finite element mesh as well as applying upstream weighting to the convective term thr...
متن کاملComputational Experience with Exploiting Order Variation in Mesh Refinement for Direct Transcription Methods
The numerical theory for Implicit Runge Kutta methods shows that there can be order reduction when these methods are applied to either stiff or differential algebraic equations. A previous paper introduced a way to try and compensate for this order reduction in designing mesh refinement strategies. This paper presents the results from a number of computational studies on the effectiveness of th...
