Numerical analysis of complex-step differentiation in spacecraft trajectory optimization problems
An analysis of the use of complex-step differentiation (CSD) in optimization problems is presented. Complex-step differentiation is a numerical approximation of the derivative of a function valid for any real-valued analytic function. The primary benefit of this method is that the approximation does...
