A SIMPLE TROLLEY-LIKE MODEL IN THE PRESENCE OF A NONLINEAR FRICTION AND A BOUNDED FUEL EXPENDITURE

We consider a problem of maximization of the distance traveled by a material point in the presence of a nonlinear friction under a bounded thrust and fuel expenditure. Using the maximum principle we obtain the form of optimal control and establish conditions under which it contains a singular subarc. This problem seems to be the … Read more

Optimal synthesis in the Reeds and Shepp problem with a onesided variation of velocity

We consider a time-optimal problem for the Reeds and Shepp model describing a moving point on a plane, with a onesided variation of the speed and a free final direction of velocity. Using Pontryagin Maximum Principle, we obtain all possible types of extremals and, analyzing them and discarding nonoptimal ones, construct the optimal synthesis. Citation … Read more
