This paper presents a new approach to fuel-optimal path planning of multiple vehicles using
a combination of linear and integer programming. The basic problem formulation is to have …

AUTONOMOUS formation ying of satellite clusters has been identified as an enabling
technology for many future NASA and US Air Force missions. 1¡ 4 The use of eets of smaller …

This paper extends a recently developed approach to optimal path planning of autonomous
vehicles, based on mixed integer linear programming (MILP), to account for safety. We …

… Definition 7 (Plan): We denote by Pi,t the sequence pi,t of trajectory points starting at time
step t and the coordinates of a rectangle that is aligned with the inertial coordinate frame and …

This paper presents a new distributed robust model predictive control algorithm for multivehicle
trajectory optimization and demonstrates the approach with numerical simulations and …

… T time steps ending in a terminal feasible invariant set S(t + T|t) and with backtrack pattern
B(t + T|t… Let the sequence of T steps starting at time t be denoted by indices (t + k|t). For each …

This paper presents a receding horizon controller (RHC) that can be used to design trajectories
for an aerial vehicle operating in an environment with disturbances. Various constraints …

… #3 (t=28). Vehicle #1 then fires early in the +x-direction to avoid hitting vehicle #2 (t=29).
Similarly, vehicle #3 does not fire in the +x-direction until after it has passed vehicle #2 (t=30). …

Once a manager determines a target portfolio, maintaining this balance of assets is non-trivial.
A manager must rebalance actively because different asset classes can exhibit different …
