A convergence computational scheme for optimal control problems governed by Schrödinger equations (Q391683)

Summary: A numerical scheme for obtaining approximate solutions of optimal control problems governed by Schrödinger equations is presented. In this method, by considering a partition of the control space, the discrete form of the problem is converted to a quasi assignment problem. Then, using an evolutionary algorithm, approximate optimal control is obtained as a piecewise linear function. The comparison between the numerical solution and the exact solution for the test cases shows the good accuracy of the presented method.
