Abstract
In this paper, a numerical method is presented for solving a class of two-dimensional optimal control problems using the Ritz method and orthogonal Legendre block-pulse functions.
The most important reason for using the Ritz method is its high flexibility in boundary and initial conditions. First, the state and control vectors are approximated as a series of hybrid orthogonal Legendre Block-Pulse functions with unknown coefficients. Then, by substituting these approximations into cost functional, we derive an unconstrained optimization problem. By applying optimality conditions for this problem, a system of algebraic equations is obtained. Solving this system, the unknown coefficients and consequently the state and control functions are obtained. At last the convergence of the proposed method is discussed and the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed method is demonstrated in comparison with other methods by providing several examples.
