Lossless convexification of optimal control problems

This dissertation begins with an introduction to finite-dimensional optimization and optimal control theory. It then proves lossless convexification for three problems: 1) a minimum time rendezvous using differential drag, 2) a maximum divert and landing, and 3) a general optimal control problem wit...
