Minimum-Time Earth-to-Mars Interplanetary Orbit Transfer Using Adaptive Gaussian Quadrature Collocation
Brittanny V. Holden, Shan He, Anil V. Rao
The problem of minimum-time, low-thrust, Earth-to-Mars interplanetary orbital trajectory optimization is considered. The minimum-time orbital transfer problem is modeled as a four-…
Nonsingular Parameterization for Modeling Translational Motion Using Euler Parameters
Alexander T. Miller, Anil V. Rao
A parameterization is described for quantifying translational motion of a point in three-dimensional Euclidean space. The parameterization is similar to well-known parameterization…
A Warm Start Method for Solving Chance Constrained Optimal Control Problems
Rachel E. Kiel, Mrinal Kumar, Anil V. Rao
A warm start method is developed for efficiently solving complex chance constrained optimal control problems. The warm start method addresses the computational challenges of solvin…
Mesh Refinement Method for Solving Optimal Control Problems with Nonsmooth Solutions Using Jump Function Approximations
Alexander T. Miller, WIlliam W. Hager, Anil V. Rao
A mesh refinement method is described for solving optimal control problems using Legendre-Gauss-Radau collocation. The method detects discontinuities in the control solution by emp…
Method for Chance Constrained Optimal Control Using Biased Kernel Density Estimators
Rachel E. Keil, Alexander T. Miller, Mrinal Kumar +1
A method is developed to numerically solve chance constrained optimal control problems. The chance constraints are reformulated as nonlinear constraints that retain the probability…
