Joint Optimization of Transmission and Propulsion in UAV-Assisted Communication Networks
Omar J. Faqir, Eric C. Kerrigan, Deniz Gündüz +1
The communication energy in a wireless network of mobile autonomous agents should be defined to include the propulsion energy as well as the transmission energy used to facilitate…
Efficient Implementation of Rate Constraints for Nonlinear Optimal Control
Yuanbo Nie, Eric Kerrigan
We propose a general approach to directly implement rate constraints on the discretization mesh for all collocation methods, for both state and input variables. Unlike conventional…
External Constraint Handling for Solving Optimal Control Problems with Simultaneous Approaches and Interior Point Methods
Yuanbo Nie, Eric C. Kerrigan
Inactive constraints do not contribute to the solution of an optimal control problem, but increase the problem size and burden the numerical computations. We present a novel strate…
Efficient and More Accurate Representation of Solution Trajectories in Numerical Optimal Control
Yuanbo Nie, Eric C. Kerrigan
We show via examples that, when solving optimal control problems, representing the optimal state and input trajectory directly using interpolation schemes may not be the best choic…
