Abstract :
This paper shows how to find lower bounds on, and sometimes solve globally, a large class of nonlinear optimal control problems with impulsive controls using semi-definite programming (SDP). This is done by relaxing an optimal control problem into a measure differential problem. The manipulation of the measures by their moments reduces the problem to a convergent series of standard linear matrix inequality (LMI) relaxations, each giving a lower bound on the global infimum of the original problem. The case of the impulsive rendezvous of two orbiting spacecrafts is then treated. Global optimality of the solutions can be guaranteed numerically by a posteriori simulations, and we can recover simultaneously the optimal impulse time and amplitudes by simple linear algebra.
