A New Semidefinite Relaxation for Linear and Piecewise-Affine Optimal Control with Time Scaling
Lujie Yang, Tobia Marcucci, Pablo A. Parrilo +1
We introduce a semidefinite relaxation for optimal control of linear systems with time scaling. These problems are inherently nonconvex, since the system dynamics involves bilinear…
