Symplectic Pseudospectral Methods for Optimal Control : Theory and Applications in Path Planning, Paperback / softback Book

Symplectic Pseudospectral Methods for Optimal Control : Theory and Applications in Path Planning Paperback / softback

Part of the Intelligent Systems, Control and Automation: Science and Engineering series

Paperback / softback

Description

The book focuses on symplectic pseudospectral methods for nonlinear optimal control problems and their applications.

Both the fundamental principles and engineering practice are addressed.

Symplectic pseudospectral methods for nonlinear optimal control problems with complicated factors (i.e., inequality constraints, state-delay, unspecific terminal time, etc.) are solved under the framework of indirect methods.

The methods developed here offer a high degree of computational efficiency and accuracy when compared with popular direct pseudospectral methods.

The methods are applied to solve optimal control problems arising in various engineering fields, particularly in path planning problems for autonomous vehicles.

Given its scope, the book will benefit researchers, engineers and graduate students in the fields of automatic control, path planning, ordinary differential equations, etc.
