In [1], Nour and Zeidan proposed a numerical algorithm to solve optimal control problems involving sweeping processes. In order to apply this algorithm to real life problems, two numerical methods need to be developed: A numerical method to solve nonlinear differential equations, and a numerical method to nd the minimum of an objective function (given only numerically) in fi nite dimensional spaces. The goal of this thesis is to develop two MATLAB codes for the numerical algorithm of [1]. To solve nonlinear differential equations we use Runge-Kutta method of fourth order, and for the minimization part, we use two different methods, namely Nelder-Mead and Model Based Descent methods. Our codes are then applied to several examples and their efficiencies are discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
