Abstract

Sensitivity analysis is used to estimate the error associated with Euler's discretization to a nonlinear optimal control problem with convex control constraints.

This work was supported by the U.S. Army Research Office Contract DAAL03-89-G-0082 and by the Bulgarian Ministry of Science Contract 127. The research was performed while the first author was a visitor at the University of Florida.
