TfMin: Short Reference Manual

Published: 2002/07/23

Control Applications continuation, continuous minimum-time orbit transfer, low-thrust transfer, single shooting

This is a short guide to use the Fortran and Matlab package TfMin designed for the numerical solution of continuous 3D minimum-time orbit transfer around the Earth (with free final longitude), especially for low thrust engines. The underlying method is single shooting. The Matlab interface with the solver allows the user to define the problem … Read more

Control Applications adaptive discretization, finite differences, grid refinement, two-point linear boundary value problems, wavelet analysis

This is a short guide to use the Matlab package WASP designed for the numerical solution of two-point linear boundary value problems that arise typically in linear quadratic optimal control. The method relies upon an adaptive computation of discretization based on a wavelet analysis. On a given refined grid, finite differences of various order are … Read more
