A CLASS OF FIXED-TIME FUEL-OPTIMAL IMPULSIVE CONTROL PROBLEMS AND AN EFFICIENT ALGORITHM FOR THEIR SOLUTION,

Abstract

The paper considers a class of fixed-time fuel optimal impulsive control problems. The problem is introduced and principal theoretical results are given. The necessary conditions are shown to be similar to those of Lee and Markus. These results are used to describe a computational procedure. A computer implementation and specific numerical results are also given. (Author)
