A Discontinuous Galerkin Solver for Front Propagation
We propose a new discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method based on [9] to solve a class of Hamilton-Jacobi equations that arises from optimal control problems. These equations are connec...

Necessary Conditions for Multiobjective Optimal Control Problems with Free End-Time
Abstract. Necessary conditions of optimality are derived for multiobjective optimal control problems with free end-time, in which the dynamics constraint is modeled as a nonconvex ...

Distributed receding horizon control for multi-vehicle formation stabilization
We consider the control of interacting subsystems whose dynamics and constraints are decoupled, but whose state vectors are coupled non-separably in a single cost function of a fi...
