Variational multirate integration in discrete mechanics and optimal control

Systems with dynamics on different time scales have contradicting requirements on the integrator. These can be resolved with a multirate integration approach, where the system is split in parts which are integrated with different methods and time steps. This leads to computing time savings compared...

description Systems with dynamics on different time scales have contradicting requirements on the integrator. These can be resolved with a multirate integration approach, where the system is split in parts which are integrated with different methods and time steps. This leads to computing time savings compared to a highly accurate simulation of the complete system. In this work, we benefit from these savings for optimal control problem simulations. Based on DMOC, which is a structure preserving simulation method for optimal control problems in mechanics, we develop an optimal control simulation method with a variational multirate integration scheme. Via an example system, we show convergence and the computing time behaviour of the multirate optimal control simulation method.
