Abstract

A numerical method for linear quadratic optimal control problems with pure state constraints is analyzed. Using the virtual control concept introduced by Cherednichenko et al. (Inverse Probl. 24:1---21, 2008) and Krumbiegel and Rosch (Control Cybern. 37(2):369---392, 2008), the state constrained optimal control problem is embedded into a family of optimal control problems with mixed control-state constraints using a regularization parameter ?>0. It is shown that the solutions of the problems with mixed control-state constraints converge to the solution of the state constrained problem in the L 2 norm as ? tends to zero. The regularized problems can be solved by a semi-smooth Newton method for every ?>0 and thus the solution of the original state constrained problem can be approximated arbitrarily close as ? approaches zero. Two numerical examples with benchmark problems are provided.
