In this paper, a two-phase algorithm, namely IVNS, is proposed for solving nonlinear optimal control problems. In each phase of the algorithm, we use a variable neighborhood search (VNS), which performs a uniform distribution in the shaking step...

Here, we give a two-phase algorithm based on integrating differential evolution (DE) algorithm with modi ed hybrid genetic algorithm (MHGA) for solving the associated nonlinear programming problem of a

This paper presents a novel computational approach to generate the suboptimal solutions for a class of nonlinear

optimal control problems (OCP’s) with a quadratic performance index. Our method is based on ...

This paper presents a new approach for solving a class of infinite horizon nonlinear optimal control problems (OCPs). In this approach, a nonlinear two-point boundary value problem (TPBVP), derived from Pontryagin’s maximum principle, is transformed...

This paper presents a new method for solving a class of infinite horizon nonlinear optimal control

problems. In this method, first the original optimal control problem is transformed into a nonlinear

two-point ...
