Application of shifted Jacobi pseudospectral method for solving (in)finite-horizon min–max optimal control problems with uncertainty

ABSTRACT The difficulty of solving the min–max optimal control problems (M-MOCPs) with uncertainty using generalised Euler–Lagrange equations is caused by the combination of split boundary conditions, nonlinear differential equations and the manner in which the final time is treated. In this investigation, the shifted Jacobi pseudospectral method (SJPM) as a numerical technique for solving two-point boundary value problems (TPBVPs) in M-MOCPs for several boundary states is proposed. At first, a novel framework of approximate solutions which satisfied the split boundary conditions automatically for various boundary states is presented. Then, by applying the generalised Euler–Lagrange equations and expanding the required approximate solutions as elements of shifted Jacobi polynomials, finding a solution of TPBVPs in nonlinear M-MOCPs with uncertainty is reduced to the solution of a system of algebraic equations. Moreover, the Jacobi polynomials are particularly useful for boundary value problems in unbounded domain, which allow us to solve infinite- as well as finite and free final time problems by domain truncation method. Some numerical examples are given to demonstrate the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed method. A comparative study between the proposed method and other existing methods shows that the SJPM is simple and accurate.
