autonomous dynamical systems of tomorrow. The goal of this article is to provide a …

We present a fast algorithm for the design of smooth paths (or trajectories) that are
constrained to lie in a collection of axis-aligned boxes. We consider the case where the …

A robust algorithm to solve the low-thrust fuel-optimal trajectory optimization problem for
interplanetary spacecraft is developed in this article. The original nonlinear optimal control …

We present successive convexification, a real-time-capable solution method for nonconvex
trajectory optimization, with continuous-time constraint satisfaction and guaranteed …

Different discretization and trust-region methods are compared for the low-thrust fuel-optimal
trajectory optimization problem using successive convex programming. In particular, the …
