MUSCOD (MU ltiple Shooting COde for Direct Optimal Control) is the implementation of an algorithm for the direct solution of optimal control problems. The method is based on multiple shooting combined with a sequential quadratic programming (SQP) technique; its original version was developed in the early 1980s by Plitt under the supervision of Bock Plitt81, Bock84]. The following report is inte...

The aim of this study was to examine the relationships among physical fitness of professional Bosnian basketball players (n = 38) and shooting accuracy during one basketball season. A related, secondary aim was to examine relationships between basketball shooting assessments and competitive shooting accuracy during game play. Physical fitness components included: muscular endurance and aerobic ...

We present a new oscillation code, GYRE, which solves the stellar pulsation equations (both adiabatic and non-adiabatic) using a novel Magnus Multiple Shooting numerical scheme devised to overcome certain weaknesses of the usual relaxation and shooting schemes appearing in the literature. The code is accurate (up to sixth-order in the number of grid points), robust, efficiently makes use of mul...

This article solves an optimal control problem arising in attitude control of a spacecraft under state and control constraints. We first derive the discrete-time attitude dynamics by employing discrete mechanics. The orientation transfer, with initial and final values of the orientation and momentum and the time duration being specified, is posed as an energy optimal control problem in discrete...

Abstract Aims: Shooting is one of the most important skills for military accommodation, and mastery in this sport or military skill is valuable. People are very different, both in terms of physicality and physicality. The main issue of the present study is to predict the accuracy of soldiers' shooting based on physical factors and behavioral brain personality traits. Method: The present study...

Background. Archery is a precision sport that requires high levels of consistency and reproducibility in the shooting movement to achieve the highest score. Objectives. This study aimed to compare and correlate the shooting time characteristics and shooting posture on the archery shooting performance of high- and low-performance archers. Methods. Terengganu state team and Malaysia Pahang Spor...

The problem of minimum-fuel, time-fixed, low-thrust rendezvous is addressed with the particular aim of developing a solver to determine optimal low-thrust Peer-to-Peer (P2P) maneuvers, which will be an integral part of distributed lowthrust servicing missions for multiple satellites. We develop the solver based on an indirect optimization technique and utilize the well-known shooting method to ...

The present study investigated the neural responses to errors in a shooting game - and how these neural responses may relate to behavioral performance - by examining the ERP components related to error detection (error-related negativity; ERN) and error awareness (error-related positivity; Pe). The participants completed a Shooter go/no-go task, which required them to shoot at armed targets usi...

We propose an efficient algorithm for the optimal control problems (OCPs) of nonlinear switched systems that optimizes input and switching instants simultaneously a given sequence. consider as optimization variables formulate OCP based on direct multiple shooting method. derive linear equation to be solved in Newton’s method Riccati recursion solve efficiently.

In this paper, a formulation is developed for obtaining the optimal trajectory of robot manipulators to maximize the load carrying capacity for a given point-to-point task. The presented method is based on open loop optimal control. The indirect approach is employed to derive optimality conditions based on Pontryagin's Minimum Principle. The obtained necessary conditions for optimality lead to ...
