Averaging in optimal control with applications to orbital transfer with low thrust
Averaging techniques are often used to analyze the slow dynamics in dynamical systems admitting slow and fast variables, in particular in celestial mechanics (lunar theory). More recently, they were introduced in optimal control to analyze the orbital tranfer of a satellite using low propulsion and get a complete analytical description of the motion in the …
IMA Thematic Year on Control Theory and its Applications (2015-2016)
IMA Thematic Year on Control Theory and its Applications September 1, 2015 – June 30, 2016 Control theory has its roots in the use of feedback as a means to regulate physical processes and mediate the effect of modeling uncertainty and noise. Early on, in the latter part of the 18th century, the flyball centrifugal …
