DIRCOL
A direct collocation method for the numerical solution of multi-phase optimal control problems in systems of ordinary differential equations
- Problem Class
- optimal control problems of systems
of ordinary differential equations, boundary value problems, general state
and control constraints, multi-phase problems
- Numerical Method
- direct collocation method (piecewise
polynomial approximation of state and control variables, SQP method)
- Programming Language
- FORTRAN 77, ANSI C
- Interface Provided
- a stand-alone program, input/output
by files and problem dependent subroutines, visualization of computed trajectories
- Examples of Applications
- trajectory optimization of air and space vehicles,
robot trajectory optimization,
optimal design of microwave oscillators
and others
