Abstract

The finite difference method and smoothing approximations for a nonsmooth constrained optimal control problem are considered. Convergence of solutions of discretized smoothing optimal control problems is proved. Error estimates of finite difference smoothing solutions are given. Numerical examples are used to test a smoothing sequential quadratic programming (SQP) method for solving the nonsmooth constrained optimal control problem.
