Time precise integration method for constrained nonlinear control system (Q1611481)

The authors consider a constrained nonlinear optimal control problem. By taking the first term of a Taylor series, the dynamic equation is linearized. By using a time precise integration method in the linear dynamic system, the nonlinear problem is computed precisely. A numerical example shows the effectiveness of the method. The result of this paper provides a new way for the analysis and computation of nonlinear problems.
