nonlinear dynamic optimization%control vector iteration%path constraint%penalty function method
This paper considers dealing with path constraints in the framework of the improved control vector it-eration (CVI) approach. Two available ways for enforcing equality path constraints are presented, which can be di-rectly incorporated into the improved CVI approach. Inequality path constraints are much more difficult to deal with, even for small scale problems, because the time intervals where the inequality path constraints are active are unknown in advance. To overcome the challenge, the l1 penalty function and a novel smoothing technique are in-troduced, leading to a new effective approach. Moreover, on the basis of the relevant theorems, a numerical algo-rithm is proposed for nonlinear dynamic optimization problems with inequality path constraints. Results obtained from the classic batch reactor operation problem are in agreement with the literature reports, and the computational efficiency is also high.
