In mathematics, unscented optimal control combines the notion of the unscented transform with deterministic optimal control to address a class of uncertain optimal control problems.[1][2][3] It is a specific application of Riemmann-Stieltjes optimal control theory,[4][5] a concept introduced by Ross and his coworkers.
Mathematical description
Suppose that the initial state of a dynamical system,
is an uncertain quantity. Let be the sigma points. Then sigma-copies of the dynamical system are given by,
Applying standard deterministic optimal control principles to this ensemble generates an unscented optimal control.[6][7][8] Unscented optimal control is a special case of tychastic optimal control theory.[1][9][10] According to Aubin[10] and Ross,[1] tychastic processes differ from stochastic processes in that a tychastic process is conditionally deterministic.
Applications
Unscented optimal control theory has been applied to UAV guidance,[8][11] spacecraft attitude control,[12] air-traffic control[13] and low-thrust trajectory optimization[2][6]
