The paper presents a general procedure to solve numerically optimal control problems with state constraints. Itis used in the case, when the simple time discretization of the state equations and expressing the optimal control problem as a nonlinear mathematical programming problem is too coarse. It is based on using in turn two multiple shooting BVP approaches: direct and indirect.The paper is supplementary to the earlier author’s paper on direct and indirect shooting methods, presenting the theory underlying both approaches. The same example is considered here and brought to an end, that is two full listings of two Matlab codes are shown.

In this study we first develop a flight mechanics model for supercavitating vehicles, which is formulated to account for the dependence of the cavity shape from the past history of the system. This mathematical model is governed by a particular class of delay differential equations, featuring time delays on the states of the system. Next, flight trajectories and maneuvering strategies for supercavitating vehicles are obtained by solving an optimal control problem, whose solution, given a cost function and general constraints and bounds on states and controls, yields the control time histories that maneuver the vehicle according to a desired strategy, together with the associated flight path. The optimal control problem is solved using a novel direct multiple shooting approach, which is formulated to properly handle conditions dictated by the delay differential equation formulation governing the dynamic behavior of the vehicle. Specifically, the new formulation enforces the state continuity line conditions in a least-squares sense using local interpolations, which supports local time stepping and drastically reduces the number of optimization unknowns. Examples of maneuvers and resulting trajectories demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed methodology and the generality of the formulation. The results are also compared with those obtained from a previously developed model governed by ordinary differential equations to highlight the differences and demonstrate the need for the current formulation.

In this paper, we study an optimal control problem associated to a 3D-chemotaxis-Navier-Stokes model. First we prove the existence of global weak solutions of the state equations with a linear reaction term on the chemical concentration equation, and an external source on the velocity equation, both acting as controls on the system. Second, we establish aregularity criterion to get global-in-time strong solutions. Finally, we prove the existence of an optimal solution, and we establish a first-order optimality condition.
