Abstract:
We conducted a numerical experiment in applying the shooting method to solve problems of optimal control with switching. We used the problem of lunar soft-landing to test an algorithm that ensures convergence of Newton's method in problems of this type. We analysed the accuracy of our computations.
Keywords:numerical solutions, optimal control problems, Pontryagin's maximum principle, shooting method, lunar soft-landing problem.
