Title :
Splines and the approximate solution of optimal control problems
Author_Institution :

Abstract :
Practical and theoretical aspects of the use of spline functions in approximately solving open-loop optimal control problems are surveyed. It is shown how B-splines can be used to yield highly structured and sparse discrete approximations to the continuous problem; some computational methods useful on the resulting discrete problems are mentioned. The question of the accuracy obtainable by such methods is discussed.
