GPOPS-II: A MATLAB Software for Solving Multiple-Phase Optimal Control Problems Using hp-Adaptive Gaussian Quadrature Collocation Methods and Sparse Nonlinear Programming

TL;DR: A general-purpose MATLAB software program called GPOPS--II is described for solving multiple-phase optimal control problems using variable-order Gaussian quadrature collocation methods.
Journal ArticleDOI

Brief paper: A unified framework for the numerical solution of optimal control problems using pseudospectral methods

TL;DR: transformations are developed that relate the Lagrange multipliers of the discrete nonlinear programming problem to the costates of the continuous optimal control problem and the LGL costate approximation is found to have an error that oscillates about the true solution.
Journal ArticleDOI

Corrigendum: Algorithm 902: GPOPS, a MATLAB software for solving multiple-phase optimal control problems using the gauss pseudospectral method

TL;DR: An algorithm is described to solve multiple-phase optimal control problems using a recently developed numerical method called the Gauss pseudospectral method, well suited for use in modern vectorized programming languages such as FORTRAN 95 and MATLAB.
Journal ArticleDOI

Direct Trajectory Optimization and Costate Estimation via an Orthogonal Collocation Method

TL;DR: In this paper, a pseudospectral method for solving nonlinear optimal control problems is presented, where orthogonal collocation of the dynamics is performed at the Legendre-Gauss points.
Journal ArticleDOI

An hp‐adaptive pseudospectral method for solving optimal control problems

TL;DR: An hp‐adaptive pseudospectral method that iteratively determines the number of segments, the width of each segment, and the polynomial degree required in each segment in order to obtain a solution to a user‐specified accuracy.
