This study focuses on using direct methods (first-discretize-then-optimize) to solve optimal control problems for a class of nonsmooth dynamical systems governed by differential variational inequalities (DVI), called optimal control…
Our recent study (Lin and Ohtsuka, 2024) proposed a new penalty method for solving mathematical programming with complementarity constraints (MPCC). This method first reformulates MPCC as a parameterized nonlinear programming called gap…

In this study, we focus on the numerical solution method for the optimal control problem with equilibrium constraints (OCPEC).It is extremely challenging to solve OCPEC owing to the absence of constraint regularity and strictly feasible…
