Definition

A technique that approximates the discontinuous sign function in the switching function with differentiable parameterized functions, enabling indirect methods to solve minimum-fuel problems by smoothing the bang-off-bang control profile.

Application Value

This concept plays an important role in cislunar space mission design and orbital dynamics analysis.
