| Summary: | We consider an optimal control problem subject to the terminal state equality constraint and continuous inequality constraints on the control and the state. By using the control parametrization method used in conjunction with a time scaling transform, the constrained optimal control problem is approximated by an optimal parameter selection problem with the terminal state equality constraint and continuous inequality constraints on the control and the state. On this basis, a simple exact penalty function method is used to transform the constrained optimal parameter selection problem into a sequence of approximate unconstrained optimal control problems. It is shown that, if the penalty parameter is sufficiently large, the locally optimal solutions of these approximate unconstrained optimal control problems converge to the solution of the original optimal control problem. Finally, numerical simulations on two examples demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. |
