Ant Colony Optimization for Optimal Control Problems
Akbar Hashemi Borzabadi, Hamed Hashemi Mehne · 2009
Ant algorithm optimization is used to solve a general class of optimal control problems with single input control. The discretized form of the optimal control problem is converted to a quasi quadratic assignment problem in the time-control space. By applying the ant optimization algorithm on this problem, a piece-wise constant approximation is obtained for the optimal control. Implementation of the method and numerical results are also discussed.
