A New Computational Method for a Class of Free Terminal Time Optimal Control Problems

We develop a numerical method for solving an optimal control problem whose terminal time is not fixed, but is instead determined by a state-dependent stopping criterion. The main idea of this method is to approximate hte control by a piecewise constant function whose values and switching times are d...
