  • Abstract
    Although the class of methods of feasible directions, which can be used for solving constrained optimization problems in Rn, is quite large, only a few of these methods can be extended for the solution of optimal control problems. This paper reviews three of the most promising algorithms in this class: an extension of the Frank-Wolfe method due to Barnes, a dual method due to Pironneau and Polak, and a method due to Zoutendijk.
