A Family of Iterative Gauss-Newton Shooting Methods for Nonlinear Optimal Control
, 2017 This paper introduces a family of iterative algorithms for unconstrained nonlinear optimal control. We generalize the well-known iLQR algorithm to different multiple-shooting variants, combining advantages like straight-forward initialization and a ...

Global Optimal Control Using Direct Multiple Shooting [PDF]
, 2015 The goal of this thesis is the development of a novel and efficient algorithm to determine the global optimum of an optimal control problem. In contrast to previous methods, the approach presented here is based on the direct multiple shooting method for discretizing the optimal control problem, which results in a significant increase of efficiency.

Modeling and simulation of minimum time-handling inverse dynamics of a vehicle
Advances in Mechanical Engineering, 2018 The performance of a vehicle in minimum time handling is highly important for the safety of the vehicle. In this study, a vehicle motion state equation with 3 degrees of freedom was established on the basis of the lateral, yaw, and longitudinal motions ...

Direct Plant Regeneration via Multiple Shoot Induction in Stylosanthes seabrana
CYTOLOGIA, 2009 We report an efficient protocol for in vitro direct plant regeneration via multiple shoot induction in Stylosanthes seabrana. Stylosanthes is an important range legume for humid to semi-arid tropics. It is very good fodder for animals, containing about 15% crude protein with 61% in vitro dry matter digestibility. S.

Automatic computation of quantum-mechanical bound states and wavefunctions [PDF]
, 2013 We discuss the automatic solution of the multichannel Schr\"odinger equation. The proposed approach is based on the use of a CP method for which the step size is not restricted by the oscillations in the solution.
