Abstract:This article deals with the optimal tracking control problem for spacecraft formation flying via a sliding mode approach in the presence of external disturbances and signal quantization, where both state quantization and input quantization are considered. First, the Gauss pseudospectral method is adopted to solve the multi-objective optimization problem, where performance optimization, thruster amplitude constraints, and collision avoidance are simultaneously taken into consideration. Second, a novel quantized… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
