Definition

An optimization method that integrates the entire trajectory as a single segment from initial conditions to terminal time, satisfying terminal constraints through the initial state and control parameters. Simple to implement but sensitive to initial guesses; prone to divergence in long-duration or strongly nonlinear problems.

Application Value

在航天器控制系统设计中，This方法可used for设计姿态控制律或制导律，achieves对航天器姿态和轨道的精确控制。在实际任务中，基于This方法的控制器能够提高姿态稳定性和轨迹跟踪精度。
