Dynamic optimization of open-loop input signals for ramp-up current profiles in tokamak plasmas

Establishing a good current spatial profile in tokamak fusion reactors is crucial to effective steady-state operation. The evolution of the current spatial profile is related to the evolution of the poloidal magnetic flux, which can be modeled in the normalized cylindrical coordinates using a parabo...
