Dynamic Optimization Using Local Collocation Methods and Improved Multiresolution Technique

Dynamic optimization has wide applications in scientific and industrial researches. Multiresolution techniques provide an efficient way to solve dynamic optimization problems but have some disadvantages. An improved multiresolution technique is developed in this paper to overcome these disadvantages. The proposed technique consists of local collocation methods and a multiresolution-based mesh refinement method. New, generalized dyadic meshes are proposed to overcome the dyadic limitation, and the mesh refinement method is improved so that it can start with the coarsest generalized dyadic mesh. Additionally, the proposed technique involves a mesh refinement algorithm to remove the redundant mesh points in the constant control regions by analyzing the control slopes. The technique is applied to three chemical process control optimization problems and compared with other methods to demonstrate its effectiveness. Numerical results show that the proposed technique can solve chemical process control optimization problems accurately and efficiently and has advantages over other methods.
