Abstract

Abstract When solving optimal control problem by nonlinear programming algorithms, the main tasks are the computation of ordinary differential equations and of definite integrals. It is shown how to make a best use of the very performing routine available to do those computations. Generally, the nonlinear programming algorithm will give a satisfactory value of the cost but a poor approximation of the optimal control function. However that approximation provides an efficient start for a two points boundary value problem solver.
