Extended Sufficient Conditions for Strong Minimality in the Bolza Problem: Applications to Space Trajectory Optimization
This paper expands the existing sufficiency results for the strong minimality of an extremal of the Bolza problem. We cover the case where the strict...

Local \(L^1\) sub-Finsler geometry in dimension 3: non-generic cases
We study the local geometry of the sub-Finsler structure induced by a sub-Riemannian metric on a 3-dimensional manifold. We provide a description of...

Second-order Sufficient Conditions of Strong Minimality with applications to Orbital Transfers
We present second-order Extended Sufficiency Conditions applicable without Strict Legendre Conditions and without local controllability assumption... -
Ascent Trajectory Optimization and Neighboring Optimal Guidance of Multistage Launch Vehicles
Multistage launch vehicles are employed to place spacecraft and satellites in their operational orbits. If the rocket aerodynamics and propulsion are... -
Reconstruction of Ocean Depths from Recorded Tsunami Arrival Times
AbstractThe ocean depth is usually measured by an echo sounder in the course of a vessel cruise. However, there are a lot of areas in the World Ocean...

Topology of Steady Fluid Flows
Cold and warm ocean currents (for instance, the Gulf Stream) determine the climate of continents beyond the reach of human intervention. The power of... -
Low-Thrust Transfers to Southern \(L_2\) Near-Rectilinear Halo Orbits Facilitated by Invariant Manifolds
In this paper, we investigate the manifolds of three Near-Rectilinear Halo Orbits (NRHOs) and optimal low-thrust transfer trajectories using a...

Differential Geometry of Diffeomorphism Groups
In 1963 E. N. Lorenz stated that a two-week forecast would be the theoretical bound for predicting the future state of the atmosphere using... -
Geometric optimal control and applications to aerospace
This article deals with applications of optimal control to aerospace problems with a focus on modern geometric optimal control tools and numerical...

Topological Properties of Magnetic and Vorticity Fields
The interior media of stars and planets are often virtually perfect conductors and possess magnetic fields. These fields are said to be “frozen" into... -

Typicality of Chaotic Fractal Behavior of Integral Vortices in Hamiltonian Systems with Discontinuous Right Hand Side
In this paper, we consider linear-quadratic deterministic optimal control problems where the controls take values in a two-dimensional simplex. The...

A numerical study for optimal low-thrust limited power transfers between coplanar orbits with small eccentricities
A numerical study of optimal time-fixed low-thrust limited power transfers (no rendezvous), in an inverse-square force field, between coplanar orbits...

Interplanetary patched-conic approximation with an intermediary swing-by maneuver with the moon
The present work quantifies the fuel consumption of a space vehicle in bi-impulsive interplanetary trajectories with an intermediary swing-by...

Estimating the height of a tsunami wave propagating over a parabolic bottom in the ray approximation
In this paper, the kinematics of tsunami wave rays and wavefronts propagating over an uneven bottom is considered. Formulas to determine the wave...

Aubry–Mather theory for Lorentzian manifolds
We introduce a version of Aubry–Mather theory for the length functional of causal curves in compact Lorentzian manifolds. Results include the...

Geometry and Variational Calculus
This chapter contains all necessary information in regard to the differential geometry of curves and surfaces needed for the description of membrane... -
On estimates for the uniform norm of the Laplace operator of the best interpolants on a class of bounded interpolation data
We consider an interpolation problem with minimum value of the uniform norm of the Laplace operator of interpolants for a class of bounded...
