This paper proposes a new indirect solution method for solving state-constrained optimal control problems by revisiting the well-established optimal control theory and addressing the long-standing issue of discontinuous control and costate…
In this paper, we solve an open problem and obtain a general maximum principle for a stochastic optimal control problem where the control domain is an arbitrary non-empty set and all the coefficients (especially the diffusion term and the…
An optimal guidance law for impact time control with field-of-view constraint is presented. The guidance law is derived by first converting the inequality-constrained nonlinear optimal control problem into an equality-constrained one…
We investigate variants of Goddard's problems for nonvertical trajectories. The control is the thrust force, and the objective is to maximize a certain final cost, typically, the final mass. In this report, performing an analysis based on…

This paper presents a Laguerre homotopy method for optimal control problems in semi-infinite intervals (LaHOC), with particular interests given to nonlinear interconnected large-scale dynamic systems. In LaHOC, spectral homotopy analysis…
We present a Pontryagin maximum principle for discrete time optimal control problems with (a) pointwise constraints on the control actions and the states, (b) frequency constraints on the control and the state trajectories, and (c)…
Optimal control remains as one of the most versatile frameworks in systems theory, enabling applications ranging from classical robust control to real-time safe operation of fleets of vehicles. While some optimal control problems can be…
We consider the optimal control problem of minimizing some quadratic functional over all possible solutions of an internally controlled multi-dimensional heat equation with a periodic terminal state constraint. This problem has a unique…
In this paper, we study the stochastic optimal control problem for control system with time-varying delay. The corresponding stochastic differential equation is a kind of stochastic differential delay equation. We prove the existence and…
In this paper, we present a framework for solving continuous optimal control problems when the true system dynamics are approximated through an imperfect model. We derive a control strategy by applying Pontryagin's Minimum Principle to the…
We prove necessary optimality conditions of Euler-Lagrange type for a problem of the calculus of variations with time delays, where the delay in the unknown function is different from the delay in its derivative. Then, a more general…

Solving optimal control problems to determine a stabilizing controller involves a significant computational effort. Time-varying optimal control provides a remedy by designing a tracking system, given as an ordinary differential equation,…
In this study, we consider an optimal control problem driven by a stochastic differential equation with state constraints. Here, the state constraints mean the constraints about the path of state. In order to show the maximum principe for…

Numerical ``direct'' approaches to time-optimal control often fail to find solutions that are singular in the sense of the Pontryagin Maximum Principle, performing better when searching for saturated (bang-bang) solutions. In previous work…
