Indirect Methods In Trajectory Optimization

Indirect Methods in Trajectory Optimization is a trajectory optimization approach that belongs to the class of methods based on the analytical application of optimal control theory, specifically distinguished by its use of the necessary conditions for optimality derived from Pontryagin's Minimum Principle or the Euler-Lagrange equations to transform the original problem into a boundary-value problem solved via calculus of variations.
