Convergence rate for a Radau collocation method applied to unconstrained optimal control
William W. Hager, Hongyan Hou, Anil V. Rao
A local convergence rate is established for an orthogonal collocation method based on Radau quadrature applied to an unconstrained optimal control problem. If the continuous proble…
