A computational algorithm is developed for the optimal control of a system having lumped parameter subsystems coupled with distributed parameter subsystems. Constraints are given on the terminal state of the system. The algorithm is based on the gradient method in the function space.
This method is composed of two steps: in the first step, the control function which gives the trajectory satisfying the terminal constraint is found; in the second step, this control function is modified so as to reduce the value of the performance index while the terminal constraint is still satisfied.
An example is given to show the effectiveness of the developed method.
