SUMMARY:Colloquium: Optimal Guidance under Constraints: Analytical and Nume
 rical Approaches for Missile and Space Applications
DESCRIPTION:Lecturer:Assoc. Prof. Vitaly Shaferman\n Faculty:Department of 
 Aerospace Engineering\n Institute:Technion – Israel Institute of Technol
 ogy\n Location:Classroom 240\, 1st floor\, Aerospace Eng. building\n Zoom:
  https://technion.zoom.us/j/98372598857\n Abstract: Optimal guidance under
  constraints is essential in many aerospace applications\, as real-world m
 issions must adhere to strict physical\, safety\, and operational limitati
 ons\, such as control bounds\, collision-avoidance requirements\, and term
 inal accuracy\, while simultaneously achieving high performance\, for exam
 ple\, by minimizing fuel consumption or aerodynamic drag.\n\nThis talk pre
 sents recent results on analytical and numerical approaches to solving con
 strained optimal control and differential game problems\, with application
 s to missile guidance and evasion\, as well as to space-related scenarios\
 , including spacecraft orbital engagements\, debris collision avoidance\, 
 and powered descent and landing. The proposed approaches exploit the under
 lying structure of these problems to solve them analytically\, and when im
 possible\, introduce efficient computational strategies that enable practi
 cal solutions to complex guidance problems.\n\nTime permitting\, we will a
 lso present a numerical methodology for efficiently implementing Orthogona
 l Collocation (Pseudospectral) methods for the transcription of optimal co
 ntrol problems. The methodology is based on accurate identification of mod
 el discontinuities and a polynomial-degree estimation\, and provides well-
 fitted\, smaller meshes substantially faster\, reducing overall convergenc
 e time.\n Details: \n
