Abstract
AbstractIn this paper, we consider a class of optimal control problems involving inequality continuous-state constraints in which the control is piecewise smooth. The requirement for this type of control is more stringent than that for the control considered in standard optimal control problems in which the controls are usually taken as bounded measurable functions. In this paper, we shall show that this class of optimal control problems can easily be transformed into an equivalent class of combined optimal parameter selection and optimal control problems. We shall then use the control parametrisation technique to devise a computational algorithm for solving this equivalent dynamic optimisation problem. Furthermore, convergence analysis will be given to support this numerical approach. For illustration, two nontrivial optimal control problems involving transferring cargo via a container crane will be solved using the proposed approach.
