Abstract

‎In this paper‎, ‎one numerical method is presented for numerical approximation of linear constrained optimal control problems with quadratic performance index‎. ‎The method with variable coefficients is based on Hermite polynomials‎. ‎The properties of Hermite polynomials with the operational matrices of derivative are used to reduce optimal control problems to the solution of linear algebraic equations‎. ‎Illustrative examples are included to demonstrate the validity and applicability of the technique‎.
