In the manuscript, a pseudospectral method is developed for approximate and efficient solution of nonlinear singular Lane-Emden-Fowler initial and boundary value problems arising in astrophysics. In the proposed method, the Gauss pseudospectral method is utilized to reduce the problem to the solution of a system of algebraic equations. Furthermore, the Gauss pseudospectral method is developed for finding the first zero of the solution of this equation that gives the radius of the star, in which the numerous properties of the star such as mass, central pressure, and binding energy can be computed through their relations to this solution. The main advantage of the proposed method is that good results are obtained even by using a small number of discretization points and the rate of convergence is high. The accuracy and performance of the proposed method are examined by means of some numerical experiments. Copyright (c) 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

A robust pseudospectral method for numerical solution of nonlinear optimal control problems

Mohammad Ali Mehrpouya, Haijun Peng

Summary: This paper introduces a robust pseudospectral method for solving nonlinear optimal control problems efficiently. The method first derives the first-order necessary conditions of optimality based on Pontryagin's minimum principle, and then converts the nonlinear optimal control problem into a system of nonlinear algebraic equations using the pseudospectral method. An optimization approach is introduced to simplify the need for a good initial guess, addressing the challenge of solving the system of nonlinear equations. Numerical results of benchmark examples are presented, along with the computational features of the proposed method.

A numerical scheme based on the collocation and optimization methods for accurate solution of sensitive boundary value problems

M. A. Mehrpouya, R. Salehi

Summary: This paper proposes a less sensitive robust numerical scheme for accurate solution of sensitive boundary value problems, utilizing an orthogonal collocation approach for discretization and converting the problem to the solution of nonlinear algebraic equations. The method transforms the system of equations into an optimization problem by considering the values of the solution at collocation points as decision parameters, achieving good results even with poor initial guesses and a small number of discretization points.

An efficient numerical solution for time switching optimal control problems

Mohammad Ali Mehrpouya, Mahmood Khaksar-E Oshagh

Summary: This paper presents an efficient computational algorithm for solving Hamiltonian boundary value problems related to bang-bang optimal control problems. The algorithm utilizes an indirect shooting method with control parameterization to accurately capture the values of the control function and switching points. By combining a homotopic approach, the method addresses the challenge of initial guess in solving the shooting equation, leading to accurate solutions without prior assumptions on optimal control structure and sensitivity to unknown parameters.
