Definition

A class of methods that transcribe a continuous optimal control problem into a parameter optimization problem. By parameterizing state and control variables at discrete time points and using implicit integration constraints to satisfy equations of motion, the problem is converted into a nonlinear programming problem.

Application Value

This term has application value in the design and analysis of cislunar space missions, supporting trajectory design, mission planning, and system optimization. Researchers can analyze its physical mechanisms and engineering applicability based on specific mission requirements to advance cislunar space exploration technology.
