In many real-life applications of optimal control problems with constraints in form of partial
differential equations (PDEs), hyperbolic equations are involved which typically describe …

In the realm of autonomous driving, ensuring a secure halt is imperative across diverse
scenarios, ranging from routine stops at traffic lights to critical situations involving detected …

Operations research techniques have been used in the space industry since its infancy, and
various competing methods and codes, with widely varying characteristics, have been used …

Due to the rapid progress in developing solutions for industrial applications of robotic
manipulators, today it is not sufficient to simply fulfill a given task. Now it is required to solve …

In this paper we present results that extend the sequential quadratic programming (SQP)
algorithm with an additional feasibility refinement based on parametric sensitivity …

This thesis develops a precision guidance algorithm for the entry of a small capsule into the
atmosphere of Mars. The entry problem is treated as nonlinear optimal control problem and …

Um neue Anwendungsprobleme effizient lösen zu können, ist es daher nötig, das
Lösungsverfahren von Grund auf darauf auszurichten, dass es die schwachbesetzte Struktur …

Die vorliegende Arbeit wurde nur durch die Hilfe verschiedener Personen ermöglicht, so
dass ich diesen zunächst danken möchte. Mein besonderer Dank gilt meiner Freundin …

This survey article summarizes some ideas of the two principle procedures for solving
optimal control problems governed by partial differential (algebraic) equations: the indirect …

In this article, after describing a procedure to construct trajectories for a spacecraft in the four-
body model, a method to correct the trajectory violations is presented. To construct the …
