Multipoint optimal control with applications to space flight
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Pontryagin's Maximum Principle is generalized to multipoint optimal control with a proof given that is based entirely on the original principle. Accommodations are made for interdependency of constraints and parametric representation of the dynamics and cost function. The approach naturally applies to impulsive as well as continuous control. Periodic optimal control is an important consequence. Cost sensitivity of the performance index is also proven and demonstrated to be useful in understanding and solving optimal control problems. Three applications from space flight are solved to demonstrate the theory: optimal attitude scheduling of an imaging satellite, optimization of impulsive orbital transfer, and finding periodic orbits near the Earth-Moon Lagrange points.
