Generalized B-spline functions ‎method‎‎ for solving optimal control problems

‎In this paper we introduce a numerical approach that solves optimal control problems (OCPs)‎‎using collocation methods‎. ‎This approach is based upon Bspline functions‎.‎The derivative matrices between any two families of Bspline functions are utilized to‎‎reduce the solution of OCPs to the solution of nonlinear optimization problems‎.‎Numerical experiments confirm our theoretical findings‎.
