The Effects of Coupling Adaptive Time-Stepping and Adjoint-State Methods for Optimal Control Problems

This thesis presents the implications of using adaptive time-stepping schemes with the adjoint-state method, a widely used algorithm for computing derivatives in optimal-control problems. Though we gain control over the accuracy of the timestepping scheme, the forward and adjoint time grids become m...
