Abstract

The paper considers a heuristic method for a global extremum search in an optimal control problem based on the idea of covering a reachable set by n-dimensional balls, including the built-in mechanisms for Lipschitz constant estimating of the objective functional. A step-by-step description of the coverage algorithm and the proposed method for generating start and auxiliary controls are presented. The proposed technique was used for solving applied optimal control problems: the problem of investment programs in Buryatia Republic and the problem of restoring the Black Lands in Kalmykia.
