Title

A branching strategy for solving a class of discrete-valued optimal control problems

Abstract

This paper presents a heuristic approach for solving a broad class of discrete valued optimal control problems. The approach is based on a branching strategy coupled with a transformation technique recently developed for the same class of problems. While it lacks the sophistication of more general branch and bound methods, it allows both downward and sideways moves along the search tree which appears to make it very effective. Numerical results for a nontrivial application example are given.
