Fuel-optimal space-flight transfer solutions through a redundant adjoint variable transformation

A transformation between minimum dimension adjoint variables and redundant adjoint variables is derived in this dissertation. The transformation is then applied between the adjoint variables associated with Cartesian position and velocity vectors and a set of redundant adjoint variables associated w...
