Semi-Smooth Newton Methods for the Time Optimal Control of Nonautonomous Ordinary Differential Equations
AMS Subj. Classification: 49J15, 49M15 The control problem of minimal time transition between two stationary points are formulated in a framework of an indirect numerical method. The problem is regularized and the monotone behavior of the regularisation procedure is investigated. Semi-smooth Newton method applied on the regularized problems converge superlinearly and usually produce a very accurate solution. Differently from other methods, this one does not need a-priory knowledge of the...
