Definition

Replacing discontinuous optimal control profiles (such as bang-off-bang) with smooth parameterized functions to eliminate discontinuities and make the optimization problem differentiable and solvable.

Application Value

This concept is applicable in cislunar space mission design, orbit optimization, and trajectory planning for spacecraft transfers and maneuver strategies.
