Optimal control problems treated with algorithms of linear and nonlinear programming

Abstract

Algorithms solving optimal control problems for linear discrete systems and linear continuous systems (without discretization) are discussed. The algorithms are based on a new approach to solving linear programming problems worked out in Minsk (USSR). A new method for solving nonlinear programming problems is justified. It uses the network interpretation of nonlinear functions and special network operations. Results of numerical experiment (on geometric programming problems) are given. In conclusion an algorithm of solving optimal control problem for the system with nonlinear input is described.
